“Sola Scriptura” Scripture alone was the battle cry of the Reformation. It means that the Bible is the final and sufficient authority for faith and life. It doesn’t mean Christians ignore church history or creeds, but that every teaching must align with Scripture.
The Reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin stood courageously for this truth when human traditions clouded the Gospel. Sola Scriptura calls us back to the Word to test every sermon, every doctrine, and every “new revelation” against the clear teaching of Scripture.
In an age of podcasts, personalities, and trending theologies, this principle anchors us in God’s unchanging truth.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching...” 2 Timothy 3:16
