Following a pilgrimage to Rome, Martin Luther was compelled to challenge the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching on the practice of indulgences and nailed his 95 Theses, on the door of the All Saints Church in Wittenberg. As a result of his courageous stand the Protestant Reformation was launched and the reformers proclaimed five foundational truths, which they held to be irrevocable.
1) By Scripture alone;
2) By faith alone;
3) By grace alone;
4) Through Christ alone; and
5) Glory to God alone.
“ …They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.”
— Acts 17:11 (NLT)
Lord Jesus don’t let me be deceived by the false teachings that abound in this present age. May I be grounded in Your infallible Word. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
