this is all paraphrased, (means i put this in a language people can understand)
ole martin studied the bible and realized, salvation came thru repentance, and being forgiven. So he asked and rreceived foregiveness
then he got to thinking, what if he forgot some sins, now he was in a termoil, maybe he wasn't saved, he thought over his life, and tried as hard as he could, to remember every sin he ever committed.
Not fully assured, he went to God and again asked for foregiveness, he then realized that while he had been concentrating on the past, he had probably committed more sins. He repented, and asked for foregiveness
You all know 1John 1:9
So every sin he committed he would repent and ask for foregiveness. he slowly was losing his mind, he spent so much time asking for foregiveness, his work began to suffer.
Then out of the blue a new wrinkle, what if he was doing something that God thought was a sin, he tried to recall anything he might have done, that might have offended God. He slowly started to hate this whole system.
then he became a teacher of the bible, and thru reading, the word, he found an interesting verse, The RIGHTEOUS ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH
he realized he could never repent enough, or on his own be good enough.
this is where the 96 thesis came in.
JESUS DID IT ALL
