Gospel reminders on Reformation Sunday

I was reminded in church today of the history of the church and the "five solas" on which believers took a stand during the Reformation and on which we're called to stand and to claim as our own today:

Sola Scriptura- Scripture Alone

Sola Christus- Christ Alone

Sola Gratia- Grace Alone

Sola Fide- Faith Alone

Soli Deo Gloria- The Glory of God Alone

Our responsive prayer of confession was a great reminder of how far I fall short:

"Leader: Holy God, our confession of faith reveals our sin,

People: for the words on our lips do not match the way we live.

Leader: We declare that scripture alone is our only rule for faith and life,

People: but we admit with sadness that we hardly touch our Bibles.

Leader: We declare that salvation is ours by faith alone,

People: but we are constantly tempted to trust in our own good works;

Leader: We declare salvation is ours by grace alone,

People: but we are foolishly inclined to feel in some small way, worthy.

Leader: We declare Christ alone as our Savior,

People: but we still cling to our sinful self-righteousness.

Leader: We declare that you alone are worthy to receive glory;

People: forgive us Lord, for we eagerly accept praise that belongs to You."
