Martin Luther

Luther before the Diet of Worms

Martin Luther, a monk, came to realize that salvation was through grace alone by faith alone, and not by works. He posted his 95 theses on the Wittenburg Door and was tried as a heretic at the Diet of Worms, where he refused to recant his writings. It was there he said those famous words, “I cannot–I WILL NOT recant….Here I stand: I can do no other.”
