The world is filled with religions all which ask similar questions about right and wrong, death and eternity, etc. But Luther wants us to ask a different question when it comes to God: What do I fear, love and trust more than anything else? That is my God. Christianity answers that question differently from any other religion. It offers a God like no other. Its God does not demand that we HAVE TO do something to be saved but instead we GET TO believe that God has gifted us in Christ. How do we know it is true? Because God has loved us into believing it is true.
