The Reformation Then and Now


Scripture: Romans 1:14-17
This weekend marks the anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. So here’s a simple question – What was that Reformation all about?  What was it that Martin Luther discovered – or more accurately rediscovered - as God used him to ignite the church’s return to a biblical understanding of the essential doctrines of the historic Christian faith?  As Dr. Kennedy shows us, Martin Luther’s rediscovery of God’s grace brought light to Dark Ages and hope to a world awash in despair. Sadly, many, who call themselves Christians, do not truly understand the concept of grace.  Have you heard someone say they’re just trying to do their best and hoping it is good enough for God to let them into heaven?  What they’re really saying is that God’s grace is something you earn by your good life or your good works.  But that’s not the amazing grace that we find in Scripture.  Martin Luther’s rediscovery of that grace changed the world.
