We affirm the five “Solas” of the Reformation:
Sola Scriptura—Our source for knowing these things is Scripture alone, which is our final & ultimate authority for faith & practice. (Galatians 1:6-9; 1 Corinthians 14:37-38)
The next four solas could be summarized by what the apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8–10, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Sola Gratia—Salvation come to us by grace alone & not in any sense because we somehow deserve it. (Romans 3:23-25, 11:5-6; Ephesians 2:4-10)
Sola Fide—We receive this grace by our faith alone, not in any sense by works that we do. (Romans 3:28, 5:1; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8-10)
Solus Christus—Salvation comes through the redeeming work of Christ alone, with no human contribution added to it. (Galatians 2:21, 5:2-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:27-19, 8:1-3)
Soli Deo Gloria—All glory is to God alone in the salvation of sinners. Indeed, all glory for all things is to go to Him & Him alone. (2 Corinthians 4:15; Ephesians 1:11-12, 2:8-9; 1 Corinthians 1:26-31)
