Lutherans believe that righteousness and forgiveness of sins come solely through faith in Jesus Christ. This belief is rooted in the doctrine of justification by grace alone, meaning that individuals are forgiven and made righteous not through their own works, but through God's grace as a gift. This understanding emphasizes the importance of Scripture and faith in the life of a believer. Therefore, salvation is seen as a result of God's mercy, rather than human effort.

Do Lutheran's believe you get forgiveness from eating the sacraments?
No. To Lutherans, the sacrament of Holy Communion is a way to strengthen faith by respecting Jesus' command to the disciples to continue the tradition of the Last Supper, growing closer to God by consuming the body and blood that is "under" the bread and wine. To them, forgiveness can only come from Jesus' sacrifice; therefore saying that taking Communion forgives sins would be untrue. It is recommended, however, that before a Lutheran receives Communion, he or she should let go of any grudges, so forgiveness to others should be given.
