Theological views Sauer's theology was influenced by the political climate of Germany during the rule of Adolf Hitler. Despite the fact that some Nazi periodicals ridiculed the Israel-centered theology of Sauer, he saw Hitler's rise to power as "God's gift of providence" and viewed him as the instrument through which God would bring the Jews to their holy land.

Sauer's soteriology has been often associated with Free Grace theology, he argued that although justification is a free gift of grace, the degree of one's glorification depends upon one's good deeds in this life.

Sauer believed in the inerrancy of scripture and dispensational premillennialism.
