Lutherans Are Christians

Lutherans hold beliefs that are shared by many Christians:

  • God is three persons in one: the Father, who created and sustains the world; The Son, who lived as a human being, died, and rose from the dead; and the Holy Spirit who works God's will in the world.
  • The Bible is God's word, spoken through human writers.
  • Sin exists in every person. It is the cause of the bad things people do to each other.
  • Everyone will have an existence after death either in heaven or in hell - forever.
  • God has a plan to end the world, when He will judge everyone - both living and dead.
Lutherans proudly display the sign of the cross, a symbol used by all Christians. The cross symbolizes the terrible death that Jesus suffered as punishment for their sins. Some Lutherans prefer to use a cross that is empty - with no body on it. They see the empty cross as a symbol of Jesus' victory over sin and death.
