Reformation Day Quiz

Since Reformation Day, October 31st, is coming up, we thought it would be fun to provide a bit of a challenge and play a "Reformers Matching Game." Below are quotes, pictures, and a list of various Reformers. See if you can match the mixed up pictures and quotes to the names at the bottom. Let us know your guesses by comment. Have fun!

(a)

1. "Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace."

(b)

2. "All who call on God in true faith, earnestly seeking from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour in in the measure, or the very thing which they ask. Yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask."

(c)

3. "The Bible is for the government of the people, by the people, and for the people."

(d)

4. "We are not our own: let not our reason nor our will, therefore, sway our plans and deeds. We are not our own: let us therefore not set it as our goal to seek what is expedient for us according to the flesh. We are not our own: in so far as we can, let us therefore forget ourselves and all that is ours. Conversely, we are God's: let us therefore live for him and die for him. We are God's: let his wisdom and will therefore rule our actions. We are God's: let all the parts of our life accordingly strive toward him as our only lawful goal."

(e)

5. "Scripture is a light, and shows us the true way, both what to do and what to hope for, and a defense from all error, and a comfort in adversity that we despair not, and strengthens us in prosperity that we sin not."

(f)

6. "If God commands one thing, and the king commands the contrary, what is that proud man that would term him a rebel who refuses to obey the king, when else he must disobey God?"

(g)

7. "Reformation ends not in contemplation, but in action."

Let us thank God for the mighty way in which he used these men and many others to make a stand for Sola Scriptura in the face of persecution. These men fought and died for the many freedoms that we now possess. It is up to us to carry on their legacy and continue to push for higher ground.

"Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2
