Subject: Theological Term: Sola Gratia |
Bible Note: Sola Gratia -- By Grace Alone Believers contribute nothing to their salvation except the sin from which they need to be saved. (Acts 13:48; Matthew 11:25-30; John 6:63-65; 15:16; Romans 9:14-24; Ephesians 1:4-6, 11; 2:8-10; Galatians 2:15-16). Saving faith is not and cannot be produced by unregenerated human nature. "If any man ascribes anything of salvation, even the very least thing, to the free will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ rightly." --Martin Luther "To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect." --John Owen "It was an act of grace, in God, to choose any, when he might have passed by all: it was an act of sovereign grace to choose this man rather than that: when both were equally undone in themselves, and alike obnoxious to his displeasure." --Augustus Toplady "One said the other day, 'I hate that text which says, Jacob I loved, but Esau have I hated.' 'Why?' said a friend, 'what is the difficulty to your mind?' The reply was, 'I cannot see why God should hate Esau.' 'Nay,' said our friend, 'I am not at all surprised that God hated Esau, but I am greatly amazed that God loved Jacob!'" --Charles Hadon Spurgeon "This is the issue: Is it a part of God’s gift of salvation, or is it in our own contribution to salvation? Is our salvation wholly of God or does it ultimately depend on something that we do for ourselves? Those who say the latter, that it ultimately depends on something we do for ourselves, thereby deny humanity’s utter helplessness in sin." --R. C. Sproul "We reaffirm that in salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by his grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from our bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life. We deny that salvation is in any sense a human work. Human methods, techniques or strategies by themselves cannot accomplish this transformation. Faith is not produced by our unregenerated human nature." --Cambridge Declaration |
