Why is understanding the Reformation important for Christians?

The Reformation, marked by events such as Martin Luther's posting of the 95 theses, brought attention to the core truths of Christianity, including the Five Solas: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria. These principles reaffirm that salvation is a divine work rather than a human endeavor. By recognizing that we are saved by grace through faith alone, Christians can appreciate the depth of God's mercy and how it profoundly affects their relationship with Him. It also fosters a commitment to glorifying God solely for His grace and emphasizes the importance of biblical authority, encouraging believers to ground their faith in Scripture.
