Reformation Day: The Verse That Made Us UNASHAMED
ยท UNASHAMED
Every October 31, while the world talks about costumes and candy, Christians around the globe remember something far bolder: Reformation Day.
A hammer, a door, and a stand
On October 31, 1517, a monk named Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. He wasn't trying to start a movement. He was trying to get back to the truth of Scripture. But that one bold act sparked the Protestant Reformation and changed the church forever.
Years later, standing before the most powerful leaders of his day and told to take it all back, Luther refused. He would not be ashamed of the gospel.
The verse behind it all
What set Luther free was a passage in the book of Romans. Wrestling with how anyone could be right with God, he found his answer right here:
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile."
Romans 1:16
The very next verse says, "The righteous will live by faith." Not by earning it. Not by fear. By faith. That truth lit a fire that's still burning 500+ years later.
Why we're called UNASHAMED
Romans 1:16 isn't just a verse we like. It's our name and our mission. Luther stood on it in front of kings. We wear it in the streets, at school, at work, and everywhere in between.
Being unashamed today doesn't take a hammer and a church door. It looks like praying before lunch in a crowded room. Wearing your faith when it isn't popular. Choosing faith over fear when everything around you says otherwise.
Wear it loud this Reformation Day
Every piece we make is a conversation starter and a small stand of your own. Rep the verse that started it all:
Bold faith then. Bold faith now. Happy Reformation Day. Stay UNASHAMED.
