“The Reformation Began with Paul: Justification the Same Yesterday, Today & Forevermore” — Thabiti Anyabwile (T4G 2016)

We speak often of the Reformation recovering the doctrine of justification, which is fine and good, but that recovery was accomplished by the recovery of Scripture itself. This is important: We are not Reformed because the Reformers are our heroes. If we genuinely Reformed it's because we believe that "Reformed" is an adequate summary of what the Bible teaches about key points of doctrine and a particular worldview. May God give us grace to be the kind of people who build our theology from the Bible up. May God's word rule over us.
