On the eve of All Saints Day, 1517, a monk named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses (or points of discussion) on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.  Humanity is put right with God by God’s grace alone.  It is not by the fantastic rituals of human penitance but “by grace alone.”  This action of Luther was a continuing movement of men and women reading the Bible and understanding that humanity gets right with God by trusting God and God’s grace for salvation.
