The Protestant Reformation was a widespread theological revolt in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries against the abuses and totalitarian control of the Roman Catholic Church. The reformers protested unbiblical practices and promoted a return to sound biblical doctrine. At the heart of their reforms were the Five Solas (latin for "alone"). Pastor Chan teaches on the second of the five solas in this message: Sola Fide.

Today's Message Text: Romans 3:27-31

Main Idea: Sola fide emphasizes salvation as a free gift, not based on human effort or good deeds, but rather the justification of God. When we trust Christ as Savior, God declares us "not guilty" of sin in His eyes. It is an act entirely of God, performed by God on the basis of Jesus' death on the cross, and is received by us through faith. Nothing we do contributes to our own justification. It is entirely an act of God on the sinner's behalf. Romans 3:28 says For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
