The Insanity of Luther: The Holiness of God with R.C. Sproul

Martin Luther wrestled with God's holiness and man's sinfulness to the extent that it drove him to despair. This struggle caused him to even cry out: "Love God? Sometimes I hate him." In this lecture, Dr. Sproul recounts Luther's struggle and explains how sinful people can stand in the presence of a holy God-only through a righteousness that He provides in Jesus Christ.
This is the 4th message in a series on God's holiness by R.C. Sproul. See other videos in the series: • The Holiness of God - ...

    You know, R.C. always thought of himself as more of a teacher than a pastor. That is why he spent much of his time in theological academia, teaching at the college and seminary level, rather than becoming a pastor of a local church body (although in later years until his passing he was pastor at St. Andrews in Sanford Florida). But in my estimation this man was, perhaps unknowingly on his part, one of the best pastors of modern times when he was teaching. He had a way of communicating the gospel that was readily received by the listener on whatever level the listener stood.

    According to Matthew Henry, these are the definitions of a teacher and of a pastor (Rom. 12:7): Pastors and teachers are the same office (Eph. 4:11), but the particular work is somewhat different. Teaching is the bare explaining and proving of gospel truths, without practical application, as in the expounding of scripture. Pastoring is to apply gospel truths and rules more closely to the case and condition of the people, and to press upon them that which is more practical. It seems to me that teachers are more like evangelists (giving the gospel message of salvation) and pastors are more like shepherds (feeding the flock to help it grow, and protecting the flock against false doctrine). And if I am right, our churches are in dire need of pastors!

    ​@@GeorgePenton-np9rh Here the law of Moses has its place. It is no longer binding on us because it was given only to the people of Israel. To be sure, the Gentiles have certain laws in common with the Jews; This is written by nature into their hearts. This is why this entire text does not pertain to the Gentiles. I say this on account of the enthusiasts. For you see and hear how they read Moses, extol him, and bring up the way he ruled the people with commandments. They try to be clever, and think they know something more than is presented in the gospel; so they minimize faith, contrive something new, and boastfully claim that it comes from the Old Testament. They desire to govern people according to the letter of the law of Moses, as if no one had ever read it before. But we will not have this sort of thing. We would rather not preach again for the rest of our life than to let Moses return and to let Christ be torn out of our hearts. So, then, we will neither observe nor accept Moses. Moses is dead. His rule ended when Christ came. He is of no further service. We will regard Moses as a teacher, but we will not regard him as our lawgiver-unless he agrees with both the New Testament and the natural law. Therefore it is clear enough that Moses is the lawgiver of the Jews and not of the Gentiles. Luther's Works W 35:164-165 Christ… is entirely without sin and the Head of the righteous, who owes no debt to the Law at all and needs no instruction as to what He should do, who already does all things even more abundantly than the Law directs. Luhter’s Works 27.231 For Christ is innocent so far as His own Person is concerned; therefore He should not have been hanged from the tree. But because, according to the Law, every thief should have been hanged, therefore, according to the Law of Moses, Christ Himself should have been hanged; for He bore the person of a sinner and a thief-and not of one but of all sinners and thieves. For we are sinners and thieves, and therefore we are worthy of death and eternal damnation. But Christ took all our sins upon Himself, and for them He died on the cross. Therefore it was appropriate for Him to become a thief and, as Isaiah says (53:12), to be “numbered among the thieves.” And all the prophets saw this, that Christ was to become the greatest thief, murderer, adulterer, robber, desecrator, blasphemer, etc., there has ever been anywhere in the world. He is not acting in His own Person now. Now He is not the Son of God, born of the Virgin. But He is a sinner, who has and bears the sin of Paul, the former blasphemer, persecutor, and assaulter; of Peter, who denied Christ; of David, who was an adulterer and a murderer, and who caused the Gentiles to blaspheme the name of the Lord (Rom. 2:24). In short, He has and bears all the sins of all men in His body-not in the sense that He has committed them but in the sense that He took these sins, committed by us, upon His own body, in order to make satisfaction for them with His own blood.

    Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis. Insanity is a legal term. He was someone who could translate the Bible in such rapid order, yet fall into despair (depression) for months. He was an example of a genius with mental health issues who was able to survive to old age rather than commit suicide in his youth. And while he lived he was able to be productive, indeed a revolutionary, his works changing the world.

The Word of God was censored, except for the priest reading and teaching the meaning...there were different small readings of Scripture in our Daily Mass prayer books used on Sundays and Holy days.

    Good point. It IS better communication to present your point, then expound, then wrap it up. In Communications, that’s known as “tell them what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them”. That way, people can follow where you’re going to lead them. You have to give them your main points- your thesis, your context first, just a short sentence or two or three, then lay out all the details, then summarize it. That way they get the most out of the message. Communications 101, Day 1.

    My sins no dark comparing its weight my soul loathed bear, and in the dark despairing of help that could be there. This life so filled with sorrow with grief from troubles be, with no hope for tomorrow all effort vanity. There must be more to being than pleasures, pain and strife, and all the evil seeing in such a fleeting life! Inside me anger festered. How could such justice be? My life so sorely pestered from so much misery. So for my death awaited, eternal death my dread. God and His justice hated for all my works were dead! But hard I read the Scripture in Romans chapter one. In it I found the answer on justice that was done. The Gospel is God’s power to save those who believe, and in my darkest hour God’s justice there perceived. No work of reparation can man pay for his sin; it’s Christ’s propitiation by grace through faith in Him. My sins no dark comparing its weight for joy He bear. And from the cross declaring, “it’s done” my sins not there! This life still has its sorrows with grief from troubles be, but in the man of sorrows He bore them all for me. There is much more to being than pleasures, pain and strife, and all the evil seeing pale to eternal life! Inside me love is forming. How could such justice be? My life was so deforming, but Justice rescued me. So now my death awaited, eternal life begins, and to my God once hated I go to be with Him. The just live by faith only in Christ their pardon won. Way Chosen of God solely His justice this Way done! “A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing, our Savior He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.” Sin, death, devil - foes, sustained fatal blow; on Golgotha’s cross, for them the battle lost. God’s justice everlasting. everlasting.

    He made it all so clear that man is saved by God's grace alone and His righteouness made us right and in peace with God, nothing else could. What a joy to know and being convinced that a sinner like me could be made righteous in His righteousness, and though I am a sinner he died for my sins, His grace saved me though I do not merit His love and salvation. But He did it all, for sinners like me. For I can never merit His salvation, peace and righteousness on my own, my deeds nor works for Him. God in His own righteousness, holiness and grace alone, accepted me as I am, a sinner who put my trust and hope in His holiness and righteousness, and by His grace I am a free man, freed from the burden of sins and guilt. A free man in His righteousness and grace. What a liberating message this has been. Today at 23:05 the truth shared by this speaker through the power of the Holy Spirit, I am writing this conviction; that I am a free man, by God's grace alone through my acveptance of His Son, who died for me while I was still a sinner, He paid it all on the cross a thousands of years ago. Yet today, this message struck me with the reality, a liberating knowledge that I could be saved by faith in His Son, through His grace alone, and I am made right with God through His righteousness alone. I can't wait to share this wonderful liberating message with anybody who want to be free of guilt and sins. There is a way to be right and be at peace with God, and I have just seen it. Glory be to God alone. May He bless you and your ministry to reach the lostbsouls of the world. (Love and gratitude from Malaysia)

    If you ever wonder why the message hidden in the Bible is called "The Gospel" then you must listen to this sermon. Good news is not good news to those who are oblivious of the certain terror that awaits them at the end of their life. This is a difficult sermon to listen to, Luthor is dragged through the mud as a crazy man, put on a tribunal at the Diet of Worms (vorms) and directed to denounce his writings about his discovery of Grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. His conclusion, "I cannot, not in good conscience." Luthor is very much a modern day Apostle Paul.

(So we could say)..but God used him.. If God uses only perfect people, nothing would ever get done. Moses and David was murderer and the later an adulterer. ML lived in dark times and he had to rely only on Scripture, and his faith and conviction to stand against Roman church and Pope..unfair (with hindsight benefits today) to judge him by today's standard.

    As we clearly see, in this debate in the commentary - at least he was used for division, that lasts until today... It sowed the seed of the most devestating war in Europe from 1618 - 1648, where 1/3 of the population died, in some regions 90%. We have two "official" churches, catholic and lutheran and they are often separated by old regional borders and also contemporary county lines. Often vast majorities of the population of a region are either lutheran or catholic, not much inner balance going on. Because everybody had to have the confession of the Lord over that region, in earlier times. My parents married in 1973, my mother was catholic, planted into the most lutheran county in Germany. And the family was divided by it. Over some uncle's comment about kneeling. This animosity and contempt lasted for about 10 years. No surprise I was sceptic about confessions early on, especially because a boy wants to be like his father - but I was catholic. Although my father didn't really care, it was demanded for future kids by the catholic church, otherwise my parents couldn't have gotten married in the church. Satan tries to divide and weaken his church. Since I got born again, after a long absense from faith, I'm very curious about the orthodox church, that to me seems to be the most rooted in the fundament of the early church. Satan did a split, there, too. But I don't know - they're human, too...
