It is no coincidence that we enter the month known for giving thanks, with our final Sola. A grand celebration... Solo Christo. This sola is the holy truth teaching of Christ and Him being the ONLY mediator between God and man, and that there is salvation through no other but through Jesus Christ alone.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
Solo Christo
Is He God in the flesh, Savior of the world offering salvation by grace alone by all who believes?
My pray is that you select the first. There is no other name in which you can be saved and that name is Jesus. Select Him because He selected you first as evident of a blood stained hill…upon a cross…where He died for your sins. Choose life, Eternal life with Christ Jesus our Lord!

Thanksgiving and Praise is the ONLY response to a holy God for sending His Son, Jesus on the cross to die for the sins of mankind. Thanksgiving and praise again when Jesus rose from the dead. His resurrection conquered the grave but set an example of how those who believe, Solo Christo, will follow and be raised up from the dead like Christ. Thanksgiving and Praise for His ascension, not only did he conquer the grave and rose from the dead, He ascended to the throne of God the Father sitting on His right side. And Thanksgiving and high praise to the Savior of the world whose current job task is to intercede and pray for us, sitting on the throne. He is Alive! The redemption has been completed. It is finished! Thank You Jesus! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!!! Glory to God in the Highest!!!
Validation of Scripture:
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32
"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.” John 14: 6-7
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty. John 6:35
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and
find pasture. John 10:9
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even
though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” John 11:25-26
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.” John 14:6
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
The Holy Scriptures alongside the truth of Christ sitting on the right hand side of God confirms how important it is to not only believe in Solo Christo but to cling to it with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength. Not only cling to it, but follow and live out the truths found in the Bible as evidence of your belief of a risen Savior. As one knowing that there is no other name than Jesus in which a man can be saved.
WRAP UP
Sola Scriptura is Latin for Scripture alone, birthed out of the hearts of God’s people for the purpose of drawing them to the holy scriptures of God and nothing else. Crucial after heresy and false teachings begin to sneak into the church, turning others from God’s holy truth.
Soli Deo Gloria which means “For the Glory of God Alone” This IS the reasonable service for those who are the sinners turned servants and saints of the most high God. These do all things for His glory and for kingdom of God.
Sola Fide interpreted by faith alone…central doctrinal issue for Christians Excluding the false teaching that good works is necessary for salvation, Sola Fide confirms that justification is received by faith ONLY without any need, deeds or acts of good works. This is also known as the “doctrine by which the church stands or falls.” May the church of this 20th century present age stand in the faith of Christ and Christ alone!
Sola Gratia. This Latin word means grace alone. This describes us as sinners and clearly identifies God as the source of salvation of sinners by His grace and His grace alone. A sinner is not accepted by God on account of the change that the believer has done by his own works instead, it is by God's grace, confirming that anyone is accepted into God’s loving arms without any regard for the merit of his works. Of course this person must believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved…
Solo Christo
This sola is the holy truth teaching of Christ and Him being the ONLY mediator between God and man, and that there is salvation through no other but through Jesus Christ alone.
Our response? Thanksgiving and praise the ONLY response to a holy God for sending His Son, Jesus on the cross to die for the sins of mankind. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!!! Glory to God in the Highest!!!
Questions:
Who do you say that Christ is?
OR do you believe that Jesus is NOT God and instead you believe that you must do works for acceptance?
