Series: The 5 Solas of the Reformation

The Apostle Paul wrote to his protege, young Pastor Timothy, "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time." Christ alone is the Savior, the sacrifice for sinners and the mediator between God and man. This sermon examines the meaning of the cry of the Reformers, "Sola Christos," and celebrates the salvation found in Christ alone.
