Michael Reeves: A Continuing Reformation (Seminar)

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that the Reformation is not a completed historical event but a continuous process of purifying the church through God's Word. It contrasts medieval theology, where grace was like a "Red Bull" enabling good works to earn salvation, with the Reformation's core doctrine of justification by faith alone. This means God's righteousness is a gift through Christ, who achieves salvation for believers, leading to personal assurance and freedom from the anxiety of earning God's favor.
