"Epistle Sermons, Vol. 2: Epiphany, Easter and Pentecost" by Martin Luther is a compilation of theological lectures from the 1500s that center on Epiphany, Easter, and Pentecost, and highlights the value of faith and Christian living through love, community, and dedication to others. The book acts as a handbook for both religious leaders and common people who want to better understand Lutheran beliefs and how they apply to living a Christ-centered life. The beginning of the book shows Luther's thoughts on the effects of faith using Romans 12. Luther explains that Christians should offer themselves as living sacrifices, indicating the importance of being humble and denying oneself when living out one's faith. Luther compares the spiritual sacrifices of the New Testament to those of the Old Testament, promoting a change of heart and mind in response to God's kindness. Furthermore, he says that true service to God comes from understanding one’s faith, starting a discussion on Christian values like love, unity, and serving each other without thinking about one's own position.
