The Five Solas: A Cry for Truth (Part 3 of 5)‏

Hello Friends!

Welcome back to part three of The Five Solas: A Cry for Truth.

This week we will investigate the third Sola known as SOLA CHRISTUS…

The Five Solas: #3 – Sola Christus

By Christ alone is from the Latin Sola Christus. Our salvation is accomplished by the mediatorial work of Jesus Christ alone. His sinless life and substitutionary atonement alone are sufficient for our justification and reconciliation to the Father. It is denied that the gospel is preached if Jesus Christ's substitutionary work is not declared and faith in Him and His work is not solicited.

Jesus Christ's life, death and resurrection is chronicled perfectly in the sixty-six books - the Holy Scriptures. Only from Scripture is it possible to derive any knowledge of His saving work. The knowledge of Jesus Christ's redeeming work is made accessible to man in spite of his hardened heart, which views the gospel as "foolishness"

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned - 1 Corinthians 2:14

Grace produces faith, which brings actual eternal salvation upon the believing sinner. Jesus Christ is glorified whenever someone believes in His redeeming work. His resurrection is often referred to the glorification of His mission on earth.

Thank you for reading! Don’t miss next week’s edition as we investigate Sola #4 – SOLA GRATIA…

Keep looking up and sharing the Gospel while there is still time… Hallelujah and Maranatha – come quickly Lord Jesus!

We are not guaranteed tomorrow – tomorrow may be too late! If you haven't yet made that most important decision of your life, won't you make Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior today - before it's too late? Today is the day of Salvation!
