What do Lutheran Christians believe about sin?
With Saint Paul (Romans 3:23) that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We believe in original sin communicated to us by our first parents in Paradise. We also believe with Saint Paul, however, (Romans 8:1) that there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Because Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, we believe that through faith in Him our sin is forgiven.
