The Five Solas of
the Reformation
Soli Deo Gloria
To
God Alone Be The Glory
For the Glory of God Alone
|
| Oh, what a wonderful God we have!
How great are his riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us
to understand his decisions and his methods! For who can know what the Lord is
thinking? Who knows enough to be his counselor? And who could ever give him so
much that he would have to pay it back? For everything comes from him;
everything exists by his power and is intended for his glory. To him be glory
evermore. Amen. Romans 11:33-36 (New Living Translation) |
Solo
Christo
Christ Alone
By Christ's Work Alone are We
Saved
|
For Jesus is the
one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, `The stone that you builders
rejected has now become the cornerstone.' There is salvation in no one else!
There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them.
Acts 4:11-12 (New Living Translation)
For there is only one God
and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus.
He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God
gave to the world at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 (New Living
Translation) |
Sola
Scriptura
Scripture Alone
The Scripture Alone is the
Standard
|
| But you must remain
faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you
know you can trust those who taught you. You have been taught the holy
Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the
salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by
God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong
in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is
God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God
wants us to do. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (New Living Translation) |
Sola Fide
By faith
alone
Justification by Faith Alone
|
Therefore, since we
have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of
what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has
brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we
confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. Romans 5:1-2
(New Living Translation)
God saved you by his special favor when you
believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation
is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about
it. Ephesians 2:8-9 (New Living Translation) |
Sola Gratia
Saved
by Grace Alone
Salvation by Grace Alone
|
He declared us not
guilty because of his great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit
eternal life. Titus 3:7 (New Living Translation)
And what a
difference between our sin and God's generous gift of forgiveness. For this one
man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this other man, Jesus
Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God's bountiful gift. Romans
5:15 (New Living Translation) |
