The Ninety-Five Theses: Justified by Faith Alone with R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon explores Martin Luther's theological crisis in 1515, focusing on his study of Romans and Augustine's commentary on Romans 1:17. The key discovery was understanding God's righteousness not as God's own, but as a gift imputed to believers by faith in Christ. This realization provided Luther with peace and a radical reorientation of his faith, laying the groundwork for the Reformation. The sermon also briefly touches on the corrupt practice of simony that led to Luther's Ninety-five Theses.
