Augustine's Comments On Romans 1: 16-17 And the Beginning of the
Reformation

Augustine's Comments On Romans 1: 16-17 And the Beginning of the
Reformation
Martin Luther had for a period of time been fearful that he
would be condemned because of his sins. He was tormented by the
fear that his sins would cause him to be condemned by God. But
when he read Augustine's commentary on Romans 1: 16-17 he was
made free of that torment and worry, and Luther's insight from
Augustine's commentary was what led to the Reformation, first in
Germany and then in the Low Countries, England and in Scotland.

CHURCH FATHERS: On the Spirit and the Letter (St. Augustine)
Featuring the Church Fathers, Catholic Encyclopedia, Summa
Theologica and more.

Augustine quotes Romans 1: 16-17: I am not ashamed of the Gospel
of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every
one that believes; 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.
Then Augustine explains that "This is the righteousness of God,
which was veiled in the Old Testament, and is revealed in the
New; and it is called the righteousness of God, because by His
bestowal of it He makes us righteous, just as we read that
salvation is the Lord's, because He makes us safe. And this is
the faith from which and to which it is revealed, — from the
faith of them who preach it, to the faith of those who obey it.
By this faith of Jesus Christ— that is, the faith which Christ
has given to us — we believe it is from God that we now have,
and shall have more and more, the ability of living righteously;
wherefore we give Him thanks with that dutiful worship with
which He only is to be worshipped."
Luther found in the writing of Augustine, that doctrine which
brought Luther out of his fear of being condemned by God for his
sins, and set off the Reformation in Germany. God's grace is the
giving to us, who believe Christ's Gospel, that righteousness
which is God's righteousness, and not ours. in order that we are
justified from our sins.
Dispensationalism has focused the argument with defenders of
Reformation Theology upon the postulate that God now has two
peoples, Old Covenant Israel and the Church. Dispensationalists
defend their doctrine that there is a strong separation between
the multitude of Israel and Gentile Christians.
Although Romans 10: 12 and Galatians 3: 26-29 briefly say that
there is a unity between saved Jews and saved Gentiles,
Ephesians 2: 12-22 is explicit and elaborated on the spiritual
unity between saved Jews and saved Gentiles. The
dispensationalist focus upon the separation of Israel from the
Church runs into the clear doctrine of unity between saved Jews
and saved Gentiles of Ephesians 2.
Yet within that second chapter of Ephesians is a statement by
Paul saying much the same thing as Augustine explained about
Romans 1: 16-17, that we who believe Christ and his Gospel are
justified from our sins by the righteousness of Christ and not
by our own righteousness.
Ephesians 2: 8-10 says "For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them.
Reformation theology follows Paul in Romans 1: 16-17 and in
Ephesians 2: 6-10 in teaching that the righteousness which
justifies the believer from sin is the righteousness of Jesus
Christ.
Reformation theology also follows the New Testament in saying
that salvation involves being Born again, as in John 3: 1-6,
becoming transformed in Romans 12: 2, becoming a new creature or
creation in II Corinthians 5: 17 and Galatians 6: 15, as well as
having Christ in you in Colossians 1: 27.
