Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation

Five pillars of our faith that come out of the reformation.

1. Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone.

The Bible is the sole written divine revelation, our only infallible rule for faith and life, and alone can bind the conscience of believers absolutely. (Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy. 3:16-17).

2. Sola Fide – Faith Alone.

Justification is by faith alone. By God’s free grace, the righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed to us by faith and is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are pardoned (Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians. 2:8-10).

3. Solus Christus – Christ Alone.

Jesus Christ is the only mediator through Whose work we are redeemed (John 14:6; John 3:16; Acts 4:12; Acts 16:30-33)

4. Sola Gratia – Grace Alone.

Our salvation rests solely on the work of God’s grace for us (Romans 2:4; Ephesians. 2:8-10).

5. Soli Deo Gloria – To God Alone be Glory.

Salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God, therefore to God alone belongs the glory (Isaiah 42:8; Colossians 3:17).
