Justification by grace alone (Sola Gratia) through faith alone (Sola Fide) in Christ alone (Solus Christus) based on the Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura), therefore, To God alone be all the glory (Soli Deo Gloria)


1. Sola Scriptura

"Scripture alone" 2 Timothy 3:10-4:5

"It is the Word which changes and touches hearts; revelations, however, puff people up and make them arrogant…. God speaks to us through Scripture and through the man who teaches Scripture. He who hears these is not deceived. But we are to flee from special revelations concerning the faith, for they are satanic impostures" from Martin Luther's comments on Isaiah 8:20

 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
  and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 
  for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, 
  thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:15
 "Do not go beyond what is written" (1 Cor. 4:6)

2. Solus Christus

"Christ alone" Hebrews 9:1-15 ==

"So completely does everything depend on the Son that no one can really know anything about God unless the Son, Who thoroughly knows the Father's heart, reveals it to him. All the world must be drawn under the Lord Christ and made subject to Him, for without Him no one can be saved" from Martin Luther's sermon on John 1:29

3. Sola Gratia ("Grace alone”) Ephesians 2:1-10

4. Sola Fide

"Faith alone" John 3:1-21

5. Soli Deo Gloria

"Glory to God alone" Romans 5:1-11
