An exploration of the Reformed doctrine of justification by faith alone.
The doctrine of justification by faith alone stands at the heart of Reformed theology, articulating how sinners are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Historical Context
The Reformation era saw a dramatic shift in how justification was understood. Prior to Martin Luther's theological breakthrough, the medieval church largely viewed justification as a process by which a person becomes increasingly righteous through a combination of faith and works. Luther's reading of Romans, particularly Romans 1:17, led him to a different conclusion.
