5 Solas of the Reformation
Sola 5 For God’s Glory Alone
1 Peter 4 God will not give His glory to another….. At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in Heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Allow Scripture alone to point you to Christ alone, where you will see that it is through grace alone, by faith alone so that it might be to the glory of God alone.
Sola 4 Faith Alone
Romans 3 and 4 We come to the heart and centre of what the Reformation was all about…. “the doctrine by which the church stands or falls.”
Sola 3 Grace Alone
Ephesians 2 We live with a merit mentality rather than a grace mentality…… It will rob you of your joy like nothing else. Salvation comes to us, not on the basis of merit but by grace alone.
Sola 2 Christ Alone
Hebrews 4 Through reading the book of Hebrews the reformers saw that direct access to God was possible through Jesus Christ, that He is the great high priest.. not through priest or pope or purgatory, not through Mary or the mass, not through saints or confession but through Christ alone.
Sola 1 Scripture Alone
2 Timothy 3 Rediscovery of truth that shook the church to its foundations……….What we need is a personal reformation.
