How did the translation of Scripture into the common language impact the Reformation?

Mike Davenport explains in this video that one of the greatest benefits that came from the Reformation is that Scripture was translated into the common language. This is a blessing that people before the Reformation did not have. They had to rely on what others like the Pope claimed it said. Services were often conducted in a language that they could not understand.

But through the Reformation, people could now read and understand the Word of God. The doctrines that came out of the Reformation were based on what God has told us in Scripture. 

Proverbs 4:5-7 (NKJV) – “Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.  Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

There have been many benefits that have come to us through the Reformation. One of the greatest, I think, is the Bible written in our own language to actually have the Scriptures to know what sayeth the Lord This was a blessing that the people before the Reformation did not have they had to lean on what the archbishop said, or the bishop, or the pope. And they were at the mercy of these men. And these services were often conducted in a language that wasn't the common language. So there was a disconnect.

But through the Reformation, one of the greatest blessings is to have the Word of God, because then the doctrines that came out of the Reformation had a basis. They are all based on what God has told us in His Holy Word.
