Luther realized it was not about an active righteousness (our actions), but about a passive righteousness (God’s actions in Christ credited to us freely)!
Every festival season and each distinctive church celebration has a particular and specific focus on the works of Jesus in the salvation story of our lives.
We Christians should responsibly exercise the freedom to elect our officials. But there is more to this than just voting.
