St. Peter’s Lutheran | Three Solas | October 13, 2024 | Pastor Tim Carter, Pastor John Cordrey, and Pastor Adam Rodriguez | The three statements sola gratia (grace), sola fide (faith), and sola scriptura (scripture) lay at the center of what distinguishes the theology of the Reformation and the Lutheran church. Sola scriptura is the belief that because Scripture is God’s inspired Word, it is the only inerrant, sufficient, and final authority for the church. Sola gratia proclaims that all of our salvation, from beginning to end, is by grace and grace alone. Sola fide maintains that the believer receives the redemption Christ has accomplished only through faith which is a gift from God. They not only capture the gospel of Jesus Christ and explain how that gospel takes root in the sinner, but they also define where the authority of that gospel resides and to what end that gospel is preached and proclaimed.
