As he studied these portions of the Bible, he came to view the use of terms such as <a href="/wiki/Penance" title="Penance">penance</a> and <a href="/wiki/Righteousness" title="Righteousness">righteousness</a> by the Catholic Church in new ways. He became convinced that the church was corrupt and had lost sight of what he saw as several of the central truths of Christianity. The most important for Luther was the doctrine of <a href="/wiki/Justification_(theology)" title="Justification (theology)">justification</a>—God's act of declaring a sinner righteous—by faith alone through God's grace. He began to teach that salvation or redemption is a gift of God's <a href="/wiki/Divine_grace" title="Divine grace">grace</a>, attainable only through faith in Jesus as the <a href="/wiki/Messiah" title="Messiah">Messiah</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Wriedt_41-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wriedt-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "This one and firm rock, which we call the doctrine of justification", he writes, "is the chief article of the whole Christian doctrine, which comprehends the understanding of all godliness."<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Luther came to understand justification as entirely the work of God. This teaching by Luther was clearly expressed in his 1525 publication <i><a href="/wiki/On_the_Bondage_of_the_Will" title="On the Bondage of the Will">On the Bondage of the Will</a></i>, which was written in response to <i><a href="/wiki/Works_of_Erasmus#On_Free_Will_(1524)" title="Works of Erasmus">On Free Will</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/Erasmus" title="Erasmus">Desiderius Erasmus</a> (1524). Against the teaching of his day that the righteous acts of believers are performed in <em>cooperation</em> with God, Luther wrote that Christians receive such righteousness entirely from outside themselves; that righteousness not only comes from Christ but actually <em>is</em> the righteousness of Christ, imputed to Christians (rather than infused into them) through faith.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>"That is why faith alone makes someone just and fulfills the law," he writes.

He was shown to be physically imposing, an equal in stature to the secular German princes with whom he would join forces to spread Lutheranism. His large body also let the viewer know that he did not shun earthly pleasures like drinking—behavior that was a stark contrast to the ascetic life of the medieval religious orders.

This association with the swan arises out of a prophecy reportedly made by the earlier reformer Jan Hus and endorsed by Luther. In the <a href="/wiki/Czech_language" title="Czech language">Bohemian language</a> (now Czech), Hus's name meant <a href="https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husa" class="extiw" title="cz:Husa">"grey goose"</a>. In 1414, while imprisoned by the Council of Constance and anticipating his execution by burning for heresy, Hus prophesied, "Now they will roast a goose, but in a hundred years' time they'll hear a swan sing. They'd better listen to him."
