This week we talked
about the person who ignited the reformation and that is Martin Luther. Luther
is not very rich but has the ability to send Luther to school. He finished his
bachelor’s degree and master’s degree and suppose to go to law school because
of his father’s request. But a sudden religious experience inspired him to
become a monk. And that experience is he was afraid of lightning. But while he
served as a monk he has a trouble over the possibility of not going to heaven.
He was looking for the truth about man going to heaven through faith or good
works. But when he turned to the Bible he was comforted by God through the
Bible. He refuted the teachings of the Roman Catholic that no one can be saved
and Bible is the source of truth, people can understand themselves, and
salvation through faith.
I learned that the life
of Luther was not easy because when he refuted to beliefs and teachings of the
Roman Catholic Church he was summoned by the Pope and there’s a threat to his
life. This is the result of his seeker of the true truth and that is only found
in the Word of God or the Bible. For Luther read the book of Romans 1:17 and
this passage had a great impact in his life.
I should make sure
whatever I have learned I need to ask the question, is this contradicting to
the word of God or does not follow his will. In the world people offer false
truth’s and seeking is this really true and does it contradicts the Word of
God. Also I need to study more in the Word of God because if someone asks me I
can answer their questions.
