500th Anniversary of the Reformation
On October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, Martin Luther posted his thoughts about some theological topics and practices of the Church in his day. That action began the Reformation – a movement that changed Western society.
One man stood against the corruption and teachings of his day that oppressed the common man and had clouded the clear teaching of the Holy Scriptures. While the Bible clearly taught the sinfulness of all humankind, the teaching that we are saved by grace through faith as a gift from God had become obscured. Man agonized how he might possibly be good enough to earn his salvation. What could he do to please God by his own human works?
When Martin Luther understood that Jesus Christ is the center of all of scripture and the key to man’s relationship with God, it freed him and all who listened and believed from the horrible bondage to sin and the enemy of God. Luther placed focus on the three solas: Grace alone, faith alone, and scripture alone. We do not celebrate being Lutheran, but rather what God has done to make us all equal recipients of His love and favor.
