Key texts:

Theme:
The heart of the Reformation was a return to the Gospel—God’s sovereign grace, received by faith, grounded in Scripture, for His glory alone.
1. Sola Gratia – Grace Alone
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” – Ephesians 2:8–9
2. Sola Fide – Faith Alone
“For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.” – Romans 3:28
3. Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone
“All Scripture is breathed out by God… that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” – 2 Timothy 3:16–17
4. Soli Deo Gloria- To the Glory of God Alone
“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen.” – Romans 11:36
Application:
• Do you rest in Grace Alone, or do you try to earn God’s favour?
• Is your trust in Faith Alone, or in your obedience or heritage?
• Is the Scripture your final authority, or is it tradition, opinion, or feeling?
• Do you live your life to the Glory of God Alone, or subtly to your own?
