Christ Alone

In the 1500s the world was shook by the Protestant Reformation. During that time five foundational doctrinal statements were crystallized. Last Friday we looked at the first one, Scripture Alone.

Today we’ll consider the second one – Christ Alone. What we mean by Christ Alone is that Christ has done all the necessary work of salvation utterly and completely.Therefore, no merit on the part of man, no merit of the saints, no works of ours can add to His completed work.

On the cross Jesus said, “It is finished.” It is important to note that He did not say, “I’ve done my part, now you do yours.” No, Christ finished the work.

Salvation is not based upon anything I have done, anything I am doing, or anything I ever will do. It is based completely on Christ and what He did.

At Believers Fellowship we joyfully proclaim that salvation is in Christ Alone. Visit us Sunday or online at believers-fellowship.org.
