The Five Solas
Sola Scriptura- Scripture Alone
Sola Fida -Faith Alone
Sola Gratia - Grace Alone
Sola Christus -Christ Alone
Soli Deo Gloria - For the Glory of God Alone

The Reformers learned that what they had been taught wasn’t in Scripture

Sola Gratia - Grace Alone

When we return to Scripture when can see God’s Grace clearly.

Sola Fide - Faith alone

Doctrine of Justification: We are saved by Grace through faith alone.

1) Alien - outside of us.

But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets. The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. They are justified freely by his gracethrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented him as an atoning sacrifice in his blood, received through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. God presented him to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so that he would be righteous and declare righteous† the one who has faith in Jesus. Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith. Romans 3:21-27

2) Immediate - without a mediator

“By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” Ephesians. 2:8.
