The Protestant Reformation erupted from Romans 1:16-17 - "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.'". In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines these vital and crucial verses that were the catalyst for Martin Luther's stand, taken even under the threat of death. Some of the audience to whom Paul wrote may have been ashamed and discouraged in their faith. But in boldness and confidence, Paul under Divine inspiration wrote, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel." The world ridicules the teachings of Christ and calls those who believe foolish. But our faith is founded on facts, not a philosophy. The world might see us as fools, but we stand on the record of the person and work of our Savior - and that record is the content of the one true Gospel.
