HAPPY REFORMATION DAY!
Grace Alone · Faith Alone · Scripture Alone
Today, on October 31, we joyfully celebrate Reformation Day—a day that reminds us of the profound truths rediscovered during the Reformation: that salvation is a gift of grace, received by faith, and grounded in God's Word alone. As we reflect on Romans 3:21–28 and Ephesians 2:8–10, we give thanks for the blessings of the Gospel and the enduring hope we have in Christ.
To mark this special occasion, we share the full text of Martin Luther's beloved hymn below. May your Reformation Day be filled with God's peace, joy, and the assurance that "the Kingdom ours remaineth."
A Mighty Fortress
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
That Word above all earthly powers
no thanks to them abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!
