The Insanity Of Luther

I love this classic lecture by R.C. Sproul on Martin Luther.

It is often thought that the Reformation was launched as a result of Luther’s recovery of the Gospel–justification by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Christ alone. However, to be more precise, the Reformation was unofficially launched as a result of the robust seriousness with which Luther took God’s Law.

It was because Luther truly heard God’s unbendable word of demand (Law) that he was able to then hear God’s unflinching word of deliverance (Gospel). As Sproul points out, it’s only when we see that the way of God’s law is absolutely inflexible that we see that the way of God’s grace is absolutely indispensable.
