Romans 5:1

October 31, 2021 • Josh Valdez • Romans 5:1

How are we made right with God? This question is the sum of the soul's anxiety, despair and longing. It was this question that greatly troubled Martin Luther. In his study, he discovered his soul's liberation--we are justified (made right) with God through faith alone. In this message, Pastor Josh Valdez unfolds Romans 5:1 and retells Luther's story.

Solus Christus

The heart of the Reformation's solas, is Solus Christus--Christ alone! Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Day Queen, well understood that Christ is more valuable than life. In John 14:6, we see the sufficiency and exclusivity of salvation in Christ alone.
