Martin Luther did not intentionally seek torture; rather, he engaged in severe self-discipline and ascetic practices, believing they would lead to spiritual growth and repentance for his sins. He sought to achieve a deeper connection with God, feeling that such suffering could help him attain righteousness. However, Luther eventually recognized that faith and God's grace were the true paths to salvation, leading him to reject these extreme practices. His journey emphasized the importance of faith over works in achieving a relationship with God.
