A STUDY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT
Part 4: Seeds of the Reformation |
|
|
The Holy Spirit began awakening men like John
Wycliffe and John Hus, who served as early reformers. Wycliffe
challenged the papal hierarchy, criticized indulgences, and
translated the Bible into English so ordinary people could read the
scriptures for themselves. His writings reached Bohemia, influenced
John Hus, who condemned corruption within the clergy, rejected
indulgences, and promoted the idea of preaching in the local
language. The Council of Constance revealed the power struggle
within the papacy and the violent intolerance of Roman Catholicism.
Hus's execution for heresy and Wycliffe's posthumous condemnation
revealed the hatred of Romanism. The Gospel was not preached for
1,100 years as one generation after another participated in useless
liturgies and perished in their sins. It was the ever-growing heresy
that led to the Reformation and the revelation that salvation comes
by faith and faith alone. |
