Sola Gratia | Created and Alive By Grace

Sola Gratia | Created And Alive By Grace

Grace is perhaps, the simplest of all Christian doctrines and yet the one we have the most trouble believing. Grace, being the unmerited favor of God given to mankind for their salvation, remains the crux of doctrine. We contribute nothing to our salvation nor can we. Yet, we desperately want to be responsible in some manner for our salvation. Deep down, we carry a long to know we are good enough and attempt to prove it through the only way we know how to prove things; our actions. Yet, our actions produced only death within us and nothing more. On our own, our actions produce spiritual death which even goes so far to take a physical and emotional toil on our bodies. Yet Jesus Christ, by grace, as a random for our sin, died in our place in a manner only He could, so that we might obtain life.

Sola Fide | The Substance of Faith

Sola Fide | The Substance of Faith

Make no mistake. We are dead in our sins. There is nothing we can do to merit our salvation and our justification as these are acts of Grace Alone (Sola Gratia). Yet, every day, we see people move from death to life by the grace of God to live in eternity in Heaven. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬) We produce nothing from our good works and every step of our salvation comes from God.

Sola Fide | Justified and Righteous By Faith

Sola Fide | Justified and Righteous By Faith

Within the context of faith, two important topics quickly surface as we explore the idea that we receive salvation by faith alone. First, that our legal right standing does not come from our own actions, but instead comes from the actions of God. Second, that our righteousness comes by faith rather than our faith coming from our righteousness. All salvation comes by grace alone (Sola Gratia) so that no one would be able to boast. This applies also to our faith. The very fabric of our faith comes by the grace of God that justifies our right standing before the judgment of God and sets us our feet on the foundation of righteousness.

Sola Fide | Faith and Works

Sola Fide | Faith and Works

Works do not obligate God to provide us with salvation but instead they provide the evidence that a transformation has taken place within a person. One cannot encounter the risen Lord without some sort of inward transformation that displays in an outward expression. Where justification declares a guilty person to be innocent, righteousness an unholy person as holy, and adoption an enemy of God as a child of God, salvation works in person to bring the dead to life. No one can come from death to life without displaying the Lordship of Jesus Christ in their lives through faith in Him and
