Thankful to be Protestant

(picture from desiringgod.org)

I’m thankful to be Protestant, I’m thankful for the work of Martin Luther and the other reformers because they returned scripture to the center of our life and faith, because they did away with the system of indulgences, they found in the scripture there’s no support for the system of indulgences, and because we can look at man like Luther and Calvin and trust them as teachers who led us back to the Bible, back to the truth that God reveals there. 500 years after Luther, 500 years after the Reformation, I’m very thankful to be Protestant.
