The Five Solas
God’s Glory Alone
God rescues sinners by grace alone, in Christ alone, through faith alone so that he is magnified and glorified. This brings us great joy to recognize and see the glory of God in salvation. We see here God’s sovereign grace, his election or choice, and how that leads to his glory. We see the work of Christ, and how that leads to God’s glory. Then we see the work of the Spirit in keeping us faithful in Christ, and how…
Grace Alone
What does it mean that we are saved by grace and grace alone? If we are saved only by grace, how to faith and works relate to grace? We answer these questions and more as we contemplate the great salvation of God. Together, from Ephesians 2, we’ll see who we are apart from grace, how we are rescued by grace, and then how faith and works relate to grace.
Christ Alone
The teaching of Christ alone is one of, if not the key truth of the doctrine of salvation. Christ alone is more than salvation is found exclusively in Christ. Christ alone points to the necessity, and most importantly, the sufficiency of Christ’s person and work. All glory to Christ for he is the author and finisher of our salvation. Let’s rejoice in what it means to be saved by Christ alone!
Faith Alone
It can be easy to misunderstand what people mean when they say we are saved by faith alone. Here the Scriptures are expounded to see that we are justified by faith apart from works, but justifying faith is always accompanied with works.
Scripture Alone
We look at the important doctrine of Scripture alone. Even before Martin Luther was a Christian, he was convinced of this teaching. As we look at history and the importance of this truth, we see why this was the truth that provided the foundation for the Protestant Reformation.
