Bible Text: |
The doctrine of justification (how sinners are made right with God) was the central issue of the Protestant Reformation. Still today, justification by faith alone is a divisive issue separating Roman Catholics and evangelicals-- as it is also the dividing line between the true, biblical gospel and all other false-gospels based on works. When we affirm "Sola Fide" (faith alone), what are we saying exactly about how sinners are made right with God? Is it by religion---good works-- sacraments-- or doing our part to cooperate with grace? ~500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation
