Luther’s goal was to educate worshippers, to get them to think about how many Catholic practices were unbiblical, such as salvation by works and the selling of indulgences.
On Reformation Sunday, we have the opportunity to repent of the sins of the past and to celebrate the truth that sets us free in Jesus.
