Reformation Series Week 10
"Sola Gratia" - Grace Alone
"Sola Gratia" - Grace Alone
Sola Gratia does NOT mean "Grace Alone" mostly, that God accomplished salvation objectively but not subjectively. The only part of salvation comes from grace alone.
What "Sola Gratia" means?
God has accomplished everything necessary for your salvation. Salvation is based on God's sheer gracious love.
Salvation is of the Lord.
God has accomplished everything necessary for your salvation. Salvation is based on God's sheer gracious love.
Salvation is of the Lord.
"If God works in us, the will changed, and being gently breathed upon by the Spirit of God, it again wills and acts from pure willingness and inclination and of its own account, not from compulsion, nor be overcome or compelled even by the gates of hell, but it goes on willing and delighting in and loving the good, just as before it willed and delighted in and loved evil"
~ Martin Luther
~ Martin Luther
Justification: is being declared not guilty by the divine judge. A one time legal declaration that is a free gift, and Christ in turn, imputes His righteousness as belonging to us.
Three Aspects of the Pharisee's Righteousness:
1. Moral (Luke 18:10-11)
2. Ceremonial (Luke 18:12)
3. A Gift from God (Luke 18:11)
1. Moral (Luke 18:10-11)
2. Ceremonial (Luke 18:12)
3. A Gift from God (Luke 18:11)
Our justification, or righteousness, is a gift based on a work done outside of us. No amount of law-keeping can provide justification - not even the very best.
The tax collector looked away from himself to God. He trusted in nothing in himself. He trusted in God's mercy.
Let's not miss this reality. The gospel is that of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, on the basis of Christ's blood and righteousness alone for the glory of God alone. It is no way dependant on us.
Jesus is telling this rich man, "Your attachment to your possessions needs to be replaced by an attachment to me."
No matter how obedient we are to the commandments, we will always lack one thing, unless we look away from ourselves to the mercy of God in the person of Jesus. He is God's righteous one by whom many will be counted righteous.
