Episode Synopsis

In this episode we take a closer look at the Reformation; what it was really about and why it needed to happen.By the 1500s, the church had drifted far from its foundation. The authority of Scripture was replaced by human tradition, and the message of grace was clouded by systems of works and fear. The Reformers weren’t trying to start something new; they were trying to recover what had been lost.We’ll explore why reform was necessary, what went wrong in the medieval church, and how the cry for Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide: Scripture alone and faith alone reclaimed the truth of the gospel. The Reformation wasn’t about rebellion; it was about returning to grace, to truth, to Christ.By the end, you’ll see that the need for reform isn’t just a 16th-century issue. The call to return to God’s Word and His gospel remains as necessary today as ever.Book Recommendation: We Believe: Creeds, Catechisms, and Confessions of Faithhttps://store.ligonier.org/we-believe-hardcover/Follow Three Thirty Ministry on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/three.thirty.mens.ministry/⁠Subscribe to He Must Increase on Youtube:⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@HeMustIncreasePodcastCheck Out Our Website: threethirtyministry.com#theology #reformed
