The Five Solas: A Cry for Truth (Part 4 of 5)‏

Hello Friends!

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

This week we will investigate the fourth Sola known as SOLA GRATIA…

The Five Solas: #4 – Sola Gratia

By grace alone is from the Latin Sola gratia. In salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by His grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Jesus Christ by releasing us from our bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life. It is denied that salvation is in any sense a human work. Human methods, techniques or strategies by themselves cannot accomplish this transformation. Faith is not produced by our unregenerate human nature.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast – Ephesians 2:8-9

Our justification before God and our resulting eternal salvation are both solely by the sovereign distinguishing grace of God and are not dependant on any action or condition provided by man. By His grace, He has given man a free will to choose or reject Him.

Thank you for reading! Don’t miss next week’s edition as we investigate the final Sola #5 – SOLI DEO GLORIA…

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!
