🤓⚓️📖 Happy Reformation Day! 🔨📜▪️#bibleNerd ▪️ ▪️It’s the 501 year anniversary of the reformation and we should never forget the time when a world wide religion was taking advantage of people because they couldn’t read the Bible in their own language. The religious leaders were making people pay money for salvation. They were manipulating the masses with religion. Praise God for people like Martin Luther (a German monk) who exposed false teaching and manipulation in the church. People are still doing these things today and this is how you identify a false church, religion or cult; apply these five criteria’s or Sola’s to there teachings (BELOW). Praise God you can Read the Bible for yourself and no one can trick you into believing things God never said. ▪️ Sola Scriptura (“Scripture alone”): The Bible alone is our highest authority. Not the traditions or made up teachings of man. ___ Sola Fide (“faith alone”): We are saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ, not by any good works or deeds. ___ Sola Gratia (“grace alone”): We are saved by the grace of God alone, it is completely undeserved but given from God just because he loves us. ___ Solus Christus (“Christ alone”): Jesus Christ alone is our Lord, Savior, and King, not the Pope, not a Prophet or religious guru, priest or pastor. ___ Soli Deo Gloria (“to the glory of God alone”): We live for the glory of God alone, not for our own fame or glory. #HappyReformationDay #martinluther #happyhalloween #halloween #bible #fivesolas #reformation #reformationday (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpm8Z2mB9q1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3ajkte4dfuzc
