Today we are reminded that in 1517, Martin Luther hung his 95 Thesis on the church door in Wittenburg, Germany. This very act ushered in the beginning of the Reformation. Praise God for this man's tenacity and courage. Because of these 95 concerns, the world was made aware of the erroneous teaching of the church of the day-and learned that we receive God's righteousness, as a gift, it is not something to be earned-by believing in his son Jesus Christ.
Paul wrote in the book of Romans:
"There is no one rigteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one." Rom. 3:11-12
and
"But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." Rom. 3:21-24
May the grace and peace of the Lord serve you well today.
Blessing-

Excellent book to read to your children about Martin Luther:
This can be found at Amazon.com for a great price. Or check your local library.
FYI: future project- I am going to try to put together a lapbook on his life during the coming summer. If I get it done, I will be sure to post the instructions on my scrap and lapbook blog.
