1. Sola Gratia (by Grace alone)
In salvation we are rescued from God’s wrath by His grace alone. God’s spontaneous and unmerited favor is granted through the calling and regenerating work of the Holy Spirit who releases us from our willful bondage to sin and enables us to repent and believe in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3-8)
2. Sola Fide (through Faith alone)
Justification is by grace alone through faith alone. Justification can never be the reward or result of human works or merit, nor does it grow out of an infusion of Christ’s righteousness. (Galatians 3:6-11
3. Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone)
The Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured. (Psalm 119:18; Psalm 138:2; II Tim. 3:14-17)
4. Solus Christus (because of Christ alone)
Our salvation is accomplished by the mediatorial work of Christ alone. His sinless life and substitutionary death, thereby making atonement for our sins is sufficient for our justification and reconciliation to God. (1TI 2:5-6; Col 1:13-18)
5. Soli Deo Gloria (for the Glory of God alone)
God glorifies Himself in all that He does. Therefore, we should acknowledge His highest purpose and live for His glory alone. (1Co 10:31; 1Pe 4:11; Rev 1:6; 2Pe 3:1; Eph 3:21; Rev 7:12; Rom 11:36)
