In the Protestant Reformation God sovereignly used certain men to recover the true gospel and to restore to the Church the most important five biblical truths regarding salvation. These truths have come to be known as the Five Solis of the Reformation- Sola gratia -grace alone-, sola fide -faith alone-, solus Christus -Christ alone-, sola scriptura -scripture alone-, and soli Deo gloria -to God be the glory alone-.

We live in a world where there is much injustice. However, no one will escape God's justice. His justice will be dispensed to all fairly and proportionately.

How often we get so caught up in our own ideas of what God should do and how he should do it that we miss the obvious leading of God-we miss the obvious signs God is sending us. This passage will help us avoid making that mistake.

Too often Christians waffle in their faith and wrestle with doubt because their expectations of who Christ is and what he intends to do in their life are not biblical expectations. This can have devastating effects on a believer's life. We must learn to align our expectations to Christ and never the vice versa.
