For Luther, grace then remained extrinsic to the person, and did not produce a new creation. So the classic Lutheran phrase, simul justus et peccator — at the same time righteous and a sinner — captures the state of the person even after baptism.

Following this reasoning, since man is depraved and sinful, so are his actions. Therefore, good works are meaningless for Luther, and have no part in justification, thereby ignoring the teaching of St. James. For Luther, salvation comes through "faith alone."

Interestingly, Luther had intended to delete the Epistle of St. James from the New Testament as he had seven books of the Old Testament, but the Protestant Princes of Germany, his patrons, threatened to withdraw their support if he did so. Moreover, Luther, to emphasize his "faith alone" teaching, did append the word "alone" to the Letter to the Hebrews 3:28: "...For we hold that a man is justified by faith alone [Luther’s addition] apart from observance of the law."
