It was 500 years ago this year that the Gospel was recaptured thanks to Martin Luther. His willingness to be used by God has forever changed the Church.
He’s credited with starting the Reformation that changed the world. But Martin Luther was quick to say, “I did nothing—the Word did everything.”
It was quite a dilemma – stand for God’s truth and face death or deny the truth and receive no punishment. Martin Luther knew he had only one choice, but how did he find the strength to stand for the truth?
He was known as the “Great Reformer”, spending his life spreading the good news of the Gospel. But Martin Luther was still human with many faults. So how do we reconcile these things?
The Reformation turns 500 this year. From schools to hospitals to freedom, you may be surprised to learn how the Reformation dramatically changed the world you live in today.
