On October 31st, in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Reformation Day recognizes this event and other reformers who God mightily used to make known the true meaning of his word. The reformation is a break away from the main religion of it's time, Catholicism. This religion focused on man made approaches and principals that help a person possibly gain entrance into heaven. Reformation emphasizes what is communciated in the bible. By God's grace through faith, a person believes in Christ, repents of their sins, and the Lord becomes their Savior and Lord. The reformed says that God draws you and makes Himself known to you and you repent. Most importantly, God opens man's eyes and heart to desire to know Him more and get right with God. This verse says it so well, Romans 10:17, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
