Happy Reformation Day! October 31 is a day to commemorate the mighty work of God where the light of the true gospel burst forth into the darkness of the medieval Europe. Hundreds of years of man-made beliefs, traditions, and ceremonies obscured the plain teaching of the Bible, resulting in a corrupt church and fearful people, having no hope and without God in the world. But through a remarkable divine providence the authority of the Bible was rediscovered and it’s truths proclaimed. Many men and women were saved, new churches established, and these truths have spread around the world.
What are the key elements of the reformation? First, that scripture alone is our highest authority. Second, that sinful people are reconciled to God by his grace alone, through faith alone, in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ alone.
Join us as we celebrate what the Lord has done for us in the gospel, and remember how he has been gracious to his people in history for our good and ultimately, for his glory alone.
As it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:17b
