At the heart of the Reformation lies the freeing truth that we are justified by grace through faith—not by what we earn, but by what God gives. This timeless message from Martin Luther is still radical today! It challenges all of us who live in a world where worth is measured by productivity, performance, or approval. On this day, we reclaim the good news: we are loved not because we are perfect, but because God is gracious.

Don’t lose heart—your faith and persistence matter.
