Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to Faithfully Living, the Podcast where we
learn how to live for Christ inour daily lives.
I'm Dwan, your host, and Iwould like to invite you on a
journey with me to explore andlearn how to be a faithful
follower of Christ.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Hey everyone, welcome to Faithfully Living, the
Podcast, where we strive toencourage you to live for Christ
faithfully by offering guidanceon how to study the Bible, how
to understand the Bible betterand how to remain faithful to
historic Christianity in acontemporary society.
Okay, we are going to finish upthe last of the five solas.
So last time, our last episode,we talked about sola scriptura
(00:52):
scripture alone and sola grata,grace alone, and in this time
we're going to finish up bytalking about sola fidel, faith
alone.
Sola Christo, christ Alone, andSola De Gloria, to the glory of
God alone.
(01:13):
Sola Fidel, embracing salvationthrough faith alone.
So we know that it is throughfaith alone that we can be made
right with God.
Romans 1, 16, 17 says For I amnot ashamed of this good news
about Christ.
It is the power of God at work,saving everyone who believes,
(01:36):
jew first, and also the Gentile.
This good news tells us how Godmakes us right in his sight.
This is accomplished from startto finish by faith.
As scripture says, it isthrough faith that a righteous
person has life.
So why do we need this goodnews that Paul is talking about?
(01:58):
It's because of our sinfulnature before God.
God demands righteousness,goodness, perfection and
everything that we can't measureup to.
So Sola Fidel means faith alone.
It's one of the five solas thatwas defined during the
(02:18):
Protestant Reformation and itemphasizes that receiving God's
gift of salvation is throughfaith alone.
So during the 16th century,religious practices often veered
toward legalism and ritualisticobservances, and the doctrine
(02:41):
of faith alone called for areturn to the true essence of
the gospel.
So you have reformers likeMartin Luther who emphasized
faith as a transformative beliefthat kind of reorients our
lives towards God's grace.
And in a reference book that Ihave that I will put in the show
(03:04):
news that says sola, how thefive solas are still reforming
the church.
It says god's righteousness isgiven through faith alone and
faith itself is not whatjustifies us.
Christ's righteousness is whatmakes us right and comes through
faith.
So humanity it couldn't saveher, couldn't save itself.
(03:29):
We couldn't save ourselves.
So no amount of good deeds orthoughts could remove the debt
that we we owe to god.
You know, in the old testamentgod gave his law.
It was a standard in which hewanted Israel to live by, and
you know we can read throughoutthe narrative of how people and
(03:51):
the children of Israel fellshort of God's expectation of
goodness.
Here's another quote from thesame book how Five Souls Are
Still Reforming the Church, itsays A more helpful metaphor is
to think of faith as a bridge.
Faith is a bridge over which wecross to salvation.
It is the channel through whichwe sail or the vessel on which
(04:15):
we travel to salvation.
So our faith and trust is givento us by God and it is what
draws us to his call.
And this call is from God andprovides us with the knowledge
of the saving gift of salvationin Jesus Christ.
And we are made righteousthrough God and through this
(04:39):
transformation we are called todo good works for the glory of
God.
So at the heart of theProtestant Reformation is the
powerful principle that kind ofreshapes the landscape of
Christian theology as far asfaith alone, so faith alone, so
(05:04):
Faith alone, sola.
Fidel Underscores a pivotalrole Of how faith is in our
relationship with God.
So it proclaims that we arejustified, meaning that we're
made right with God by our faithin Christ, rather than our own,
than our own deeds.
(05:25):
And this principle, as we saw,is rooted in the Apostle Paul.
That reminds us that salvationis a gift that can't be earned
and we can receive it through asincere trust in the redemptive
work of Jesus.
(05:46):
So one of the liberatingaspects of faith alone is the
assurance that it offers us asbelievers.
You know, the burden of tryingto earn salvation through our
actions is removed and replacedwith the confidence that our
trust in Christ's sacrifice issufficient.
(06:13):
Next is going to be sola Christois Christ alone.
So what is sola Christo?
It's Latin, it means Christalone.
So it's important to understandthat our salvation is in the
(06:33):
work, in the person and work ofJesus Christ.
So as sinners, you know, wecan't pay the penalty needed to
save us from our sins.
There's nothing we could do topay the debt that we owe God,
and our sins render us guiltybefore the righteousness of God
that he requires.
(06:54):
So Christ stepped in, paid ourdebt.
1 John 2 says my dear children,I am writing this to you so that
you will not sin.
My dear children, I am writingthis to you so that you will not
sin.
But if anyone does sin, we havean advocate who pleads our case
before the Father.
He is Jesus Christ, the onlytrue righteous one.
(07:15):
He himself is the sacrificethat atones for our sins, and
not only our sins but the sinsof all the world.
So christ died on the cross toto pay the penalty of our sin
and to live in who, and he livedin perfect obedience to the
will of god.
(07:35):
So it is christ's righteousnessthat that justifies us.
I like this, this quote fromthis book Christ Alone, the
Uniqueness of Jesus as Savior,what the Reformers Taught and
why it Still Matters.
It says Christ alone is Lordand Savior.
(07:57):
Therefore, he alone is able tosave and his work is all
sufficient is able to save andhis work is all sufficient.
So it means that what Christdid on the cross for us is
enough to pay the debt ofpenalty of our sins.
So in the 16th century, christalone.
That phrase was embraced bydoing the Protestant Reformation
(08:21):
.
And while the church believedthat christ as believe christ in
christ as savior for salvation,they also thought that in order
for people to receive gracethrough, but they also believe
that people um could receivegrace through the church and
through the church, people couldreceive grace through the
(08:42):
church and through the church,people could receive the
sacraments such as baptism, theEucharist, penance, and through
these sacraments one couldreceive grace, could receive
grace necessary for salvation.
And these requirements leftpeople without a genuine
(09:06):
assurance of their salvation.
So, as it pertains for us today, it's important to preach the
gospel to ourselves often.
You know, sola Christo is apart of the gospel that reminds
us that salvation is nothingthat we have done or can receive
(09:27):
on our own merit, and it isthrough the unchanging truth
that salvation is a gift freelygiven and is not earned.
The gift of grace and mercy isonly found in Christ alone.
So, just to recap so, solaChristo means Christ alone.
So, just to recap so, soloChristo means Christ alone.
And at the heart of soloChristo underscores the
(09:53):
significance of Jesus Christ asthe sole mediator between
humanity and God and emphasizeshis unique role in salvation and
spiritual connection.
And it stands as a counterpointto the notion that salvation
can be attained through themeans other than the person and
(10:15):
work of Jesus Christ.
So, as you know, this conceptemerged during the Protestant
reformation in the 16th centuryand it challenged the prevailing
idea the religious institutions, rituals that there's a
necessity for salvation, butit's something that it was only
(10:38):
through christ's sacrifice onthe cross that will be
sufficient to reconcile us toGod, and it eliminates the need
for us to try to be good and do,and do good works, all right.
(11:02):
The last one is sola de gloria,so this means to the glory of
god alone.
So god is, he's the supremebeing over everything, he's the
creator of heaven and earth andbecause of his greatness and who
he is, he deserves all praiseand glory, because nothing is in
(11:26):
existence without him.
I like this quote in one of thereferences that I have, which
is called how the five solasstill are reforming the church,
and the quote says the bible isa is at base a true story of
(11:53):
death struggle between swornenemies god and satan.
Both of these figures wantglory, but only one of them is
only one of them.
God deserves it.
So before God created the earth, you know, he had a plan to
save humanity from their sins.
And salvation is God's gift tous.
(12:14):
So it's through faith alonegiven to us by God, through
grace alone given by God,through Christ alone, for the
glory of God alone.
And in salvation glorifies God.
Only he can provide it and hecan choose to give it to us.
(12:39):
Have men like Martin Luther,john Calvin, you know, sought to
reform the practices of theCatholic Church and yeah, and
sola de gloria was kind of likeone of the pillars that they
were trying to reform, sayingthat the things that we're
(13:01):
supposed to do are to give, tobe glorifying to God.
Particularly, we use this latinphrase, sola de gloria.
(13:24):
They, they had a heart and adesire to give glory to god.
Um, you can often see in theend of musical compositions by
the composer johanna sebastianbach and then george frederick
handel.
They were often put to theglory of God at the end of their
compositions.
So this is during a time, duringthe reformation, that the
(13:48):
church was entangled withcorrupt and distorted biblical
teachings and sola de gloriakind of refocused attention on
the centrality of god's glory.
So what is this?
How this, how should thisaffect us today?
(14:08):
You know we are, we'renaturally selfish people.
You know the world is into likeself-love, self-care,
self-preservation.
You know that's real populartoday.
But as followers of christ, wewe were to die to ourselves.
(14:28):
You know, take up our cross andfollow christ.
So we're not supposed to benecessarily looking out for.
You know, number one, which issupposed to most people think,
oh, number one is me.
But the number one thing we'resupposed to do is, you know,
love god with all of our heartand then love our neighbors, so
(14:50):
we're supposed to sacrifice youknow our needs to bring glory to
God.
You know, in this quote From thebook, how the five solos are
still reforming the church.
It says God wants to takeself-centered glory seekers and
(15:12):
make them God-centered gloryseekers.
So God deserves all of theglory, honor and praise because
of who he is.
And we are to live our lives toglorify God, to make his name
great, because this is ourhighest purpose.
You know, god's glory isdeserved by him because, like I
(15:39):
say, because who he is andbecause of who he is and what
he's done.
All right.
So here's one final word tokind of help us put glorifying
God in perspective.
(16:03):
Glorifying god in in perspective, and this is from um, one of
the one of the references I haveand this will be in the show
notes.
It's from the book god's gloryalone, the majestic, the
majestic heart of christianfaith and life, what the
reformers taught and why itmatters today.
And so this is the quote fromthem.
It says While God's gloryshould indeed be Christians'
(16:26):
chief motive and glory in allour conduct, we must remember
above all that glory is the Lordand that in all His work he
glorifies Himself, which is true.
At the center we're able torecognize our call to glorify
God for what it really is God'swork in us, that he magnifies
(16:48):
his glory through us.
So, you know, often in the worldtoday, you know, we're driven
by personal achievement and thepursuit of individual glory and
fame or wanting to be known.
And Sola Dei Gloria, you know,is a reminder for us as
(17:11):
Christians that we have a higherpurpose, a higher calling to.
You know, give glory to god andto give it, to give it alone to
him, so to the glory of godalone, is, like I say, one of
the five solas.
And you know there arefoundational principles of the
(17:32):
protestant reformation in the16th century and this sola de
gloria particularly emphasizesthat all should be done with the
ultimate aim of bringing gloryand honor to God.
So I will challenge you toexamine your motives behind your
(17:53):
actions, your endeavors.
You know, instead of trying toseek self-glorification, fame
and kind of shift your focus ondedicating your talents and
achievements to glorifying Godin everything we do.
So that wraps up our look atthe five solas.
(18:14):
You know, when we look back atat history, it gives us a
perspective of how christiansfought to understand god's word
rightly and try to share thatwith other people around them.
So it's important for us asbelievers to continue to study
(18:34):
the bible for ourselves.
You know, many of the doctorerrors we see today are just a
repeat from, you know, earliertime in history, and it's
important to know what webelieve and what the Bible has
said.
So, I hope this kind of likeshort series it's just two parts
was helpful for you.
I will put some references inthe show notes that I referenced
(18:59):
in the podcast, but some alsosome others that I used so you
can check them out if you wantto.
And until next time, rememberGod is always good and he's
always faithful.
