What was the heart of the Reformation?

Kevin Swanson explains in this video that the heart of the Reformation began with Sola Scriptura, the returning to the Word of God as the absolute authority for all of life. Without access to the Scripture, there could be no Reformation. 

With the Reformation came the translation of Scripture into various languages. This led to family worship, family discipleship, and solid preaching of God’s Word. This was a terrific blessing and led to a great revival. 

Romans 15:4 (NKJV) – “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”



I believe the heart of the Reformation began with Sola Scriptura, the return to the Word of God as an absolute epistemological authority for human reasoning and human thought. Without the access to the word of God and the common tongue, there is no reformation, there is no truth, there is just darkness across the land. So with the reformation came the translation of the Word of God into the various languages, and that led to family worship, that led to family discipleship, that led to good, solid preaching of the Word of God throughout all of Europe. What a blessing, what a blessing. You
