This 5-week series focuses on the five pivotal ideas of the Protestant Reformation. Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone, Christ alone, Glory to God alone. These ideas lie at the heart of the true Christian faith and are as foundational today as they were 500 years ago.
Scripture teaches we are saved on account of God’s grace alone, through the work of Christ alone, which is accessed by faith alone, so that the glory for our salvation might be to God alone.
Romans 3:27-31
The Gospel tells us we are accepted before God because of Christ’s righteousness and atoning work alone, apart from any works or merits of our own, and that His righteousness is received by faith alone, apart from any efforts on our part.
Romans 5:1-2
The exclusivity and sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice is the only ground for our righteousness.
Romans 3:23-26
Sin has corrupted humans so thoroughly that we can only be saved because of grace – God’s undeserved merciful kindness and favor – alone.
Ephesians 2:8-10
Scripture alone is the ultimate source of truth and the final authority for the beliefs and practice of Christians and the Church.
Matthew 15:1-9
