In this article, we want to highlight the faith that sparked the Reformation, and we\u2019ll do so by looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A16-17&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 1:16\u201317<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-righteousness-through-faith\"><strong>Righteousness Through Faith<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, \u201cThe righteous shall live by faith.\u201d <\/p><cite>Romans 1:16\u201317<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Luther\u2019s great breakthrough came in his diligent study of Paul\u2019s letter to the Romans, specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A16-17&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:16\u201317<\/a>. As he beat importunately at the text, he discovered the solution to his long-sought dilemma. He discovered that he could be right with God through faith. God would consider him righteous on the basis of Christ\u2019s righteousness when he believed the gospel. Let\u2019s look at these two verses with some assistance from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=25789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reformation Study Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Gospel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul\u2019s opening statement makes his focus clear. He is talking about the gospel and how he does not cower from proclaiming the good news. The gospel doesn&#8217;t make him blush, nor does it cause him embarrassment. He has already described the gospel in the first few verses of the letter. He is \u201cset apart for the gospel of God\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A1&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:1<\/a>). And this gospel has to do with the promises of God about his Son that were written in the Scriptures (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A2&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:2<\/a>). His Son is the promised Son of David and Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died and was raised up by the Spirit of God (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A3-4&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:3\u20134<\/a>). Jesus is now the ruler of the nations and has commissioned his servants, the apostles, to preach the gospel to all people (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A5-6&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:5\u20136<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the gospel through which the Romans believe in Christ and through which Paul serves as an apostle (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A8-9&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:8\u20139<\/a>). His burning desire is to reap a fruitful harvest among the nations, even among those in Rome (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A13-14&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:13\u201314<\/a>). Paul eagerly desires to preach the gospel in the capital of the world (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom1%3A15&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:15<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAlthough the gospel is folly to the cultured and the cross appears weak in contrast to Rome\u2019s power, Paul sees his message as divine wisdom and power (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+cor+1%3A22-25&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Cor. 1:22\u201325<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+cor+1%3A30&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30<\/a>).\u201d<\/p><cite>Reformation Study Bible<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Power of God<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no wonder then why Paul states so clearly that he does not shrink back from this message. There is another reason though that goes beyond his calling as an apostle and slave of Christ. This message is \u201cthe power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gospel is not an impotent message. It actually has the power to save anyone who hears it in faith. This is what makes Paul so eager and bold. He wants to carry out his responsibilities to the risen Christ, but he also knows Christ will save many through his preaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe life-giving, life-transforming impact of the gospel message through the Holy Spirit is essential because of humanity\u2019s bondage to sin and Satan; its culpability before God\u2019s justice (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+1%3A18-3%3A20&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:18\u20133:20<\/a>); and its utter spiritual inability on account of sin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+5%3A6&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5:6<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+8%3A5-9&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8:5-9<\/a>; cf. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=eph+2%3A1-3&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eph. 2:1\u20133<\/a>).\u201d<\/p><cite>Reformation Study Bible<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Righteousness of God Revealed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How is it that the gospel can save? Why can we consider it the power of God? Paul provides the answer to that question in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+1%3A17&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:17<\/a>. God saves through the gospel as he demonstrates his righteousness by saving those who believe. He does this in two ways. He accepts Christ\u2019s righteousness and credits that to those who believe, and he upholds his righteousness by accepting nothing less than the perfect righteousness of his Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis is a key phrase in Romans (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+3%3A21&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3:21<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+5%3A19&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5:19<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+10%3A3&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10:3<\/a>), regularly explained in the letter as \u201crighteousness . . . through (or of) faith\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+3%3A22&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3:22<\/a>; cf. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+9%3A30&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9:30<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+10%3A6&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10:6<\/a>). It refers to the righteousness of Christ that is reckoned, accounted, or imputed to the one who believes. This imputation of righteousness to sinners who believe is fully consistent with the personal righteousness of God (cf. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+3%3A25-26&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3:25, 26<\/a>). As a just and righteous judge (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+2%3A5-16&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2:5\u201316<\/a>), God on the merit of the obedience and death of His Son alone justifies, or declares righteous, sinners through true faith in Christ and not through anything that they have done, are doing, or will do (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+3%3A21-26&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3:21\u201326<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+5%3A10&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5:10<\/a>). Luther\u2019s reading of this verse had a decisive impact on his understanding of justification.\u201d<\/p><cite>Reformation Study Bible<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Faith of the Righteous<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final clause of these two verses is a quotation from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=hab+2%3A4&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Habakkuk 2:4<\/a>. Essential to Paul\u2019s argument is the fact that God has always worked this way, even with those who lived and died before Christ came in the flesh (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+1%3A3&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1:3<\/a>). They were justified by faith just as \u201cAbraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+4%3A3&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rom. 4:3<\/a>). This is a strong argument against any who would argue that justification is by circumcision or works of the law. Salvation is entirely a work of God from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe righteousness of justification is received exclusively through faith, not works, so it comes to all those with faith, whatever their race. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=hab+2%3A4&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hab. 2:4<\/a> provides the biblical basis for and the summary of what follows, indicating that the way of justification by faith alone was already known in the OT. The whole of the Christian life, from beginning to end, is lived in trust and dependence on the God who graciously justifies the sinner.\u201d<\/p><cite>Reformation Study Bible<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover More Sound Truths with the Reformation Study Bible<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ReformationStudyBiblesESVandNKJVSocial-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ReformationStudyBiblesESVandNKJVSocial-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ReformationStudyBiblesESVandNKJVSocial-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ReformationStudyBiblesESVandNKJVSocial-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ReformationStudyBiblesESVandNKJVSocial-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This resource will prove to ground you in the Scriptures as you seek to live out the truths of your faith.
