Martin Luther and Righteousness by Faith Alone

The 31 October 1517 is a significant date in the history of the church. A young Martin Luther nails his 95 statements to the door of the church in Wittenberg, hoping to spark conversation that would reform the church. Luther quickly realised the church wouldn't change and so began the Protestant Reformation.Luther was awakened to the truth of the gospel by discovering Romans 3: 21-31. Having concern for his own sin, the knowledge that righteousness from God was by faith alone in Jesus Christ. The closing verses of this passage provide us with three responses to the truth of this gospel: Humiliation, Integration and Affirmation.Romans - The heart of the Gospel is a teaching series from Annalong Presbyterian Church.
