Two Questions:

First. Are we free to
choose good or evil?
Two. Why is this at the heart of
the Gospel?
"Free will was no academic question to
Luther; the whole gospel of the grace of God, he believed, was bound up
with it and stood or fell according to the way one understood it.
/>
Luther affirms our total inability to save ourselves and the
sovereignty of divine grace in our salvation.
He upholds the
doctrine of justification by faith and defends predestination as
determined by the foreknowledge of God.”
