Theology On Tap- Episode 101: Sola Gratia (By Grace Alone) - a podcast by Theology On Tap

In this episode the Theology on Tap crew discusses grace and how it is lived out in our lives, so pour yourself a cold beer, warm cup of milk, hot tea or a bottle of water and enjoy this conversation. 

3 Solas of Lutheranism: Sola gratia, Sola fide, Sola Scriptura are cornerstones of the Lutheran and Reformed understanding of salvation.

Actually, many people think that the “3 solas” may not have been mentioned together by the 16th Century reformers.

Melancthon 1554: Sola Fide & Sola Gratia together. But that seems to be the only place where two of the phrases were used together

Wasn’t until the early early 20th Century all 3 were linked together.

So if we could travel back in time and show off for Luther

- Sola gratia,

- Sola fide

- Sola Scriptura

He might like what he hears, but he wouldn’t necessarily think you were quoting him.

It’s good that they were linked together, and it’s really good that we are talking about them, but like any # slogan, they can be misunderstood.

Leviticus 5:17 “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Genesis 6:5-8 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Leviticus 19:33,34 33 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34 You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

1 Timothy 2:4 God our Savior, desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
