Reformation presumes a standard by which improved must be measured.
Revolution loves chaos;
Reformation loves order.
Revolution assumes human ingenuity can cure a history of human depravity;
Reformation knows divine interference is required to reverse the curse of our current course.
Revolution is man unmaking the world as it is in order to remake it in his own image;
Reformation is man returning to God who made man in His image.
Revolution is paradise indefinitely delayed;
Reformation is paradise lost and found forever in Christ alone.
The only hope of Revolution is death and destruction;
The only hope of Reformation is death and resurrection.
Revolution trusts chaos to recreate;
Reformation trusts the Creator in the chaos.
