Treasuring God's Truth - Reformation Day Devotional

Reformation Day (October 31) is a wonderful opportunity to help children understand a special part of Christian history — a time when believers longed to bring the Church back to the truth of God’s Word. While the story begins with Martin Luther in Germany more than 500 years ago, the heart of the Reformation is something all Christians can celebrate: God’s Word is our authority, and His grace is a free gift through Jesus Christ.

This family devotional helps children discover one of life’s most freeing truths — no one is perfect, but God can use anyone.

Through short Bible readings, reflection questions, and the story of Martin Luther, your family will see how God worked through ordinary, imperfect people to accomplish His extraordinary plans. Moses doubted, David sinned, Peter denied Jesus, and Luther himself made mistakes — yet God still used each of them to point others to His truth.

Your family will learn that God’s plan doesn’t depend on our perfection, but on hearts willing to follow Him. Each reading gently points children back to the only One who never fails — Jesus, our faithful and loving Savior.

Encouraging, honest, and full of grace, this devotional reminds young hearts that God’s power shines brightest through imperfect people who trust in Him.

As a non-denominational ministry, this resource avoids any focus on division or theological conflict. Instead, it celebrates the courage it takes to stand for Scripture, the importance of reading the Bible for ourselves, and the joy of knowing we are saved by grace alone.

Learn the Five Solas

From the Reformation came five timeless truths that still guide us today — each one pointing us back to Jesus:

• Scripture Alone — God’s Word is our guide and authority.
• Faith Alone — We are saved by trusting in Jesus, not by trying harder.
• Grace Alone — Salvation is a gift, freely given by God’s love.
• Christ Alone — Jesus is our Savior and the bridge to God.
• To the Glory of God Alone — Everything we do points to Him.
