Treatise on Good Works: Luther Study Edition
The first and highest- the most precious of all good works is faith in Christ- as He says- John vi. When the Jews asked Him: "What shall we do that we may work the works of God? " He answered: "This is the work of God- that ye believe on Him Whom He hath sent." When we hear or preach this word- we hasten over it and deem it a very little thing and easy to do- whereas we ought here to pause a long time and to ponder it well. For in this work all good works must be done and receive from it the inflow of their goodness- like a loan. This we must put bluntly- that men may understand it.
