Christians delight in the good news of free salvation in Jesus Christ, but unbelievers resent that message and those who deliver it. That should not stop us from sharing the message with others, though, just as Martin Luther did not stop when he was faced with persecution during the Reformation.

Jesus instructed the disciples to be as "shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves" when he was sending them into the world, and still today this applies to Christians everywhere. We look at Martin Luther during the Reformation and the apostles for guidance and examples to help us be on guard and witness to others.

Only the truth sets you free, and that truth is found in the Word of God. God used Martin Luther to put it into the language of the common people, so they would not be enslaved but would know the truth about God and their salvation.

The Gospel is eternal and for all, and the Gospel makes us fear and glorify God.

The Reformation gives all glory to the true redeemer... Judas’ discipleship shows that God offers His grace even to the undeserving.

We stand firm in the freedom Christ has won for us. Work-righteousness completely rejects Christ’s work, enslaves you to all the Law, and cuts you off from the vine of Christ. Works are the fruit of being debt free, so we stand firm in our freedom, eagerly await complete righteousness, and love God and your neighbor.
