2. Romans 11:33-36
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

4. The Five Solas Sola Gratia – Grace Alone Sola Fide – Faith Alone

“Without these five confessional statements – Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, grace alone, faith alone and glory to God alone – we do not have a true church, and certainly not one that will survive lone. For how can any church be a true and faithful church if it does not stand for Scripture Alone, is not committed to a biblical gospel and does not exist for God’s glory? A church without these convictions has ceased to be a true church whatever else it may be.”
