Romans 1:16,17 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
Martin Luther was a conflicted student in Germany in the 16th Century who left his study of the law and instead enrolled in an Augustinian Monastery. He did not feel at home until he was assigned to work with Biblical texts. Arriving at a milestone in his personal life, Luther found great strength in believing the truth of Romans, becoming convinced that the scriptures provide all that pertains to life and godliness.
Luther was persuaded his findings would benefit the church and sought the approval of his superiors. Teaching the truths he was learning, several were inspired and followed his example, including influential theologians, colleagues, and associates. One of his desires was to translate The Bible into German for widespread use.
Luther's teachings were not well received by his superiors in Rome, and he was forced into exile, with support from Frederick of Saxony. It was Frederick's protection that allowed Luther to continue his work and translate the Bible into German.
Among his works is the song, A Mighty Fortress is Our God.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; / our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still, our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; / his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, / on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, / were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; / Lord Jesus Christ his name, from age to age the same; / and he must win the battle.
