A Treatise On Good Works is a book written by Martin Luther, which discusses the importance of good works in the Christian faith. Luther argues that good works are not necessary for salvation, but are rather a result of faith in God. He emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life and doing good deeds as a way of expressing one's faith and love for God. The book also addresses the issue of whether good works are necessary for salvation, and Luther argues that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned through good works alone. Overall, A Treatise On Good Works provides a thoughtful and insightful perspective on the role of good works in the Christian faith, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the relationship between faith and good deeds.The first and highest, the most precious of all good works is faith in Christ, as He says, John vi. When the Jews asked Him: ""What shall we do that we may work the works of God?"" He answered: ""This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him Whom He hath sent."" When we hear or preach this word, we hasten over it and deem it a very little thing and easy to do, whereas we ought here to pause a long time and to ponder it well. For in this work all good works must be done and receive from it the inflow of their goodness, like a loan. This we must put bluntly, that men may understand it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
