The most important doctrine for Luther was the doctrine of justification - God's act of declaring a sinner righteous. Luther came to realise that a person is justified /put right with God by faith alone through God's grace. He began to teach that salvation or redemption is a gift of God's grace, attainable only through faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

Luther wrote that Christians receive such righteousness entirely from outside themselves. Righteousness not only comes from Christ but actually is the righteousness of Christ, imputed to Christians through faith.

Which of martin luthers disagreements with the catholic church do you think were most influenced by the renaissance idea of humanism?

Martin Luther's emphasis on individual interpretation of scripture, rejection of the authority of the Pope, and belief in the importance of a personal relationship with God were influenced by the Renaissance idea of humanism, which promoted critical thinking, individualism, and a focus on human potential and agency. These beliefs led Luther to challenge the hierarchical structure of the Catholic Church and advocate for a more direct connection between individuals and God.
