Theology of the Cross-Romans 4:25-Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins and raised for your justification 1517-beginning of Reformation-95 theses nailed by Martin Luther 1518 was much more important for Luther-3 crucial events Heidelberg Disputation One of the most important moments of theological history Nobody did the negative better than Luther I am going to teach you by paradox-it puts side by side-opposites 3 objections from those in audience to Luther were free will, good works, law of God You do not have free will after the Fall Your good works are sinful The Law of God will not advance you along the way in this life, also it is hindering you Resolutions You cannot love the cross.
