Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Luther believed people were saved by faith alone and that this was the summary of all Christian doctrine, and that the Catholic Church of his day had got this wrong. It’s often stated Catholics, by contrast to Protestants, believe a mixture of faith and works is necessary for salvation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone. God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
