On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses, raising the question of how a sinner is declared right before God. The Reformers answered with the five solas, resting on Scripture alone as the final authority. Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. It is marked by authority, totality, sufficiency, supremacy, and clarity. Scripture is not the only authority, but it is the final one, and the sacred writings make wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
