The Great Controversy Study - Protest of the Princes - Chap 11

One of the noblest testimonies ever uttered for the Reformation was the Protest offered by the Christian princes of Germany at the Diet of Spires in 1529. The courage, faith, and firmness of those men of God gained for succeeding ages liberty of thought and of conscience. Their Protest gave to the reformed church the name of Protestant; its principles are “the very essence of Protestantism.”- The Great Controversy Pg. 197.1

My dear brothers, thank you for this powerful analysis. Your points on religious liberty and its protection by civil powers amplifies the connection between civil and religious liberties. As Christians, it also opens to view how Christ would have us live in a civil manner which would open to view to the world the pure religion that glorifies Jesus Christ.
