Marin Luther - The Freedom of a Christian: thoughts and reflections

Marin Luther states in his passage of The Freedom of a Cristian, that a christian is subject to everyone and none at the same time. He explains that their souls is free to delight in righteousness and liberty of a christen spirit. This happens while their physical body may be enduring harm, but this outward hardship has no effect on the freedom of the soul. Marin Luther also explains the faith of christians. Their faith belongs to the word of God which brings salvation to ones soul. In christian faith, God teaches His lessons through the mind and soul and is above all else in spiritual power. Spiritual power is strength made by one's weaknesses, and is when a person can turn all things into those that profit for their salvation. In other words, the more one suffers from physical hurt, the more of a christian they are. This is why there is no gain for the well being of one's physical body. 
To me, an atheist, spiritual power means the embodiment of one's beliefs of what is good or wrong, happy or sad, and what they should do with their life according to their ideals. Spiritual power is also the capability of believing in one's self in life, and having hopes for the future. It is the power of a soul to keep going, and making the most out of life.
