The Five Solas are the rallying cry of the Reformation.
The Reformers of the 16th Century put their livelihoods, homes, fortunes, and lives on the line to restore the essential teachings of the gospel to the church. These teachings were summed up in five Latin slogans: Sola Scriptura, Solus Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, and Soli Deo Gloria. Translated into English, they assert that salvation is according to Scripture alone, in Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, for the glory of God alone.
Each of these Solas proves to be essential to the gospel—and so they’re essential to us today.
That’s why we’re excited to offer you this free visual guide to the Five Solas:
