"What is the key to the correct understanding of the Bible? Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, is the heart and center of Scripture and therefore the key to its true meaning."
"What basic distinction must we keep in mind in order to understand the Bible? We must sharply distinguish between the Law and the Gospel in the Bible."
"What does God teach and do in the Gospel? In the Gospel, the good news of our salvation in Jesus Christ, God gives forgiveness, faith, life, and the power to please him with good works."
-- Martin Luther, Explanation of the Small Catechism
