Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Proverbs 22:28

 

 

 

 

The Battle Cry of the Protestant Reformation:

 

 

Sola Scriptura     Sola Fide     Sola Gratia     Solus Christus     Sola Deo Gloria

 

Sola Scriptura

(Scripture alone)

 

The Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin

And is the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured.

 

Sola Gratia

(by Grace alone)

 

In salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by His grace alone.

God's spontaneous and unmerited favor is granted

Through the calling and regenerating work of the Holy Spirit

Who releases us from our willful bondage to sin

And enables us to repent and believe in Christ.

 

Sola Fide

(through Faith alone)

 

Justification is by grace alone through faith alone.

Justification can never be the reward or result of human works or merit,

Nor does it grow out of an infusion of Christ's righteousness.

 

Solus Christus

(because of Christ alone)

 

Our salvation is accomplished by the mediatorial work of Christ alone.

His sinless life and substitutionary death alone are sufficient

For our justification and reconciliation to the Father.

 

Soli Deo Gloria

(for the Glory of God alone)

 

God glorifies Himself in all that He does.

Therefore we should acknowledge His highest purpose and live for His glory alone.
