What happens when a devoted monk begins searching the Scriptures for peace with God—and discovers a biblical truth that challenges the religious system of his day?
In this Bible study, we follow Martin Luther from his early years as a Catholic monk through his intense struggle with sin, guilt, confession, and salvation. We will explore what he began studying, the Scriptures that transformed his understanding of righteousness by faith, and the controversy that eventually placed him in direct conflict with the authority of Rome.
We’ll examine:
📖 Luther the Monk — Why did he enter the monastery?
🔎 His Search for Truth — What was he desperately trying to find?
📜 The Indulgence Crisis — What troubled Luther about the sale of indulgences?
📜 The 95 Theses — Why did Luther write them, and what happened afterward?
⚔️ Luther Before His Accusers — What happened when church and political leaders demanded that he recant?
🔥 The Cost of Truth — What happened to others who stood for the principles of the Reformation?
✝️ The Biblical Discovery — What did Luther find in Scripture about righteousness, faith, and salvation?
