PROTESTANT HISTORY

MARTIN LUTHER WRITING HIS COMMENTRY ON GALATIANS

I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. (Psalm 78:2-4)

 

INTRODUCTION: BIBLE PROTESTANTISM HAS A GLORIOUS HISTORY. It is an epic story of a deadly struggle from under the heel of the Roman system to the glorious liberty of the sons of God. In our ecumenical and apostate age, this story needs to be retold that the battle may continue. This is the ELEVENTH of a number of posts (hence entitled: Protestant11) and is just another shot fired in this great battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil. We are deliberately aiming at brevity, leaving it to other works (listed later) to satisfy any hunger for further information. These pages may therefore be viewed as tasty appetisers. May God give us the faith of these old Protestants who loved not their lives unto death and of whom, the world in its sin, was not worthy. 

LUTHER - WRITING HIS COMMENTARY ON GALATIANS

Mightily used of God

IT WAS A GOOD DAY when Luther wrote his commentary on Paul's Galatians epistle.  It answers the argument that Protestantism is a negative religion. Although Luther attacked Romanism in its pages (just as Paul in the epistle itself attacks false gospellers) yet he positively sets forth the great truths of the gospel and the responsibilities of successful Christian living. The immortal dreamer, John Bunyan, records his indebtedness to it: "I do prefer this book of Martin Luther upon the Galatians, excepting the Holy Bible, before all books I have ever seen, as the most fit for a wounded conscience." The Protestant evangelist, John Wesley was converted to Christ through someone reading Luther's introduction to his Galatian commentary at a meeting in Fetter Lane in London in 1738.

 IT WAS A GOOD DAY when Luther burned the Bull of excommunication which followed his performance at Wittenberg. C.H. Spurgeon said later: "What cared he for any Pope in or out of Hell?"

Seminal Protestant Book

LUTHER - WRITING THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL

IT WAS A GOOD DAY when Luther took up his pen to write many books. At one time, one book in three printed in Germany was penned by Luther. He translated the bible into German, composed hymns, a catechism and other books in defence of the gospel. One of his best known works is called "Bondage of the Will" and is still in print. He refuted the teaching of  Erasmus of Amsterdam (and the Roman Church). He too the Biblical line that man's will is in bondage to his heart which is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9) The Church of Rome were later to anathematise the teachings of Luther in the infamous Council of Trent.

“Protestantism has produced some great men, and I will mention some, although I am going to leave out a great many. I think of the Reformation leaders: Martin Luther and John Calvin stand out, head and shoulders, above all others. Of course, there is John Knox, a great man of God who did so much for Scotland.”

“Protestantism has had some names who didn’t defile themselves and who were true to the word of God.”

“Protestantism has certainly produced some great men of God.”

LUTHER - DEFENDING THE GOSPEL AT THE DIET OF WORMS

IT WAS A GOOD DAY in 1521 when Luther confronted Eck, the Pope's man at the Diet of Worms. When commanded to withdraw his "heretical" teachings as contained in his books, Luther's answer must rank as one of the most inspiring ever recorded outside of Scripture: "Unless I am convinced by testimonies of the Scriptures or by clear arguments that I am in error - for Popes and councils have often erred and contradicted themselves - I cannot withdraw, for I am subject to the Scriptures I have quoted; my conscience is captive to the word of God. it is unsafe and dangerous to do anything against one's conscience. Here I stand; I can do no other. So help me God."

MARTIN LUTHER - NAILING  HIS 95 THESES TO THE CATHEDRAL DOOR

Chalenging the Pope!

IT WAS A GOOD DAY on 31st October, 1517 when Luther nailed his ninety five theses to the Cathedral door of Wittenberg. Most of these are evangelical in content and they caused a great stir in Germany and ultimately (when translated) all over Europe. Pope Leo X initially dismissed the matter as the ranting of a "drunken German" but soon had to change his tune when a great debate started among the common people. Luther gained much respect for his boldness, reminding us of Daniel's words: The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits (Daniel 11:32)

MARTIN LUTHER - HIS PROTEST AGAINST INDULGENCES:

Silver and gold have I none... #Irony

IT WAS A GOOD DAY when Luther raised his voice in angry protest against the sale of indulgences. The Pope badly needed money to build Saint Peter's in Rome and so authorised the sale of these indulgences. The Pope's agent in Saxony was Tetzel who confidently proclaimed that once the money tinkled in his box, the soul thus paid for would spring out of purgatory. The immoral effect of these "sin dockets" (as the Reformers later called them) can only be imagined. Luther was enraged with a holy rage and characteristically said that he would burst a hole in Tetzel's drum.

MARTIN LUTHER - HIS CONVERSION (1483-1546)

Martin Luther

IT WAS A GOOD DAY when the German Reformer found Christ as his Saviour. Strict adherence to the monkish requirements of the Roman Catholic Church failed to give him peace with God. However he discovered a Bible in the monastic library and learned the great truth: "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." (Romans 1:17) Wise words from John von Staupitz, the head of the Augustinian Order, pointed him in the right direction: "Remember that Christ came into the world for the pardon of our sins" and again "Look to the wounds of Christ , and you will there see shining clearly the purpose of God towards men."  Luther did and passed from death unto life. It was only a matter of time before the great Protestant Reformation would begin.
