The Christian hope is grounded in our good God who keeps us and has gone before us.

God’s word is calling us to contend for the faith today, so that his truth will be carried along into tomorrow.

We can't take any credit for our salvation. Our whole lives are to be lived soli Deo gloria - to the glory of God alone.

In this sermon from Fellowship Reformed Church in Mount Pleasant, we see that our salvation rests entirely on what has been accomplished by Jesus. Our salvation rests on one Mediator and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Pastor Devon Rossman from Fellowship Reformed Church in Mt Pleasant, MI argues from Ephesians 2 that Christians are saved by grace alone, purely on account of Christ's merit rather than merit we would attempt to produce for ourselves.

A Christian is justified (officially declared to be right with God) through faith in Christ. The works and merits of Christ are granted to us when we trust in him. And our (attempts at) good works or merits contribute nothing to making us acceptable to God or right with him.

Christ himself indicated that God's authoritative truth had been preserved for his people in Scripture, rather than ongoing oral or ecclesial tradition. This explanation of Matthew 15 argues for the priority of Scripture alone in determining the faith and practice of the Christian church.

The Bible makes it clear that there's an ongoing need for Christians to be reformed according to the Word of God.
