Part 3 of a 7 part series with Pastor Tom Baker discussing the Heidelberg Disputation, Luther’s defense of his views on salvation (Theology of the Cross vs. Theology of Glory). Pastor Baker covers theses 7 – 12 of the Heidelberg Disputation.

7 – The works of the righteous would be mortal sins if they would not be feared as mortal sins by the righteous themselves out of pious fear of God.
8 – By so much more are the works of man mortal sins when they are done without fear and in unadulterated evil self-security.
9 – To say that works without Christ are dead, but not mortal, appears to constitute a perilous surrender of the fear of God.
10 – Indeed, it is very difficult to see how a work can be dead and at the same time not a harmful and mortal sin.
11 – Arrogance cannot be avoided or true hope be present unless the judgment of condemnation is feared in every work.
12 – In the sight of God sins are then truly venial when they are feared by men to be mortal.
