Martin Luther believed that salvation comes through faith alone (sola fide) rather than through works or the church's sacraments. He argued that individuals are justified before God solely by their faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of personal belief and a direct relationship with God. This doctrine was a central tenet of the Protestant Reformation and challenged the existing Catholic practices of the time. Luther's views reshaped Christian theology and encouraged a more personal interpretation of scripture.
