| 0:00.0 | The whole doctrine of salvation by grace rests on the principle that the law of God has been |
| 0:07.5 | fulfilled by Christ and by Christ alone. |
| 0:13.5 | That what the first Adam failed to accomplish and plunged us into misery, the new Adam |
| 0:19.9 | or the second Adam took upon himself the burden |
| 0:23.9 | to obey all of the commandments of God and to fulfill the covenant of works. |
| 0:30.9 | And what is so gracious about the covenant of grace is that the covenant of grace does not destroy |
| 0:36.5 | the covenant of works, but rather says |

| 1:25.4 | of the Reformation when you give a donation of any amount |

| 1:35.0 | way of saying thank you. Christ securing salvation for his people took more than simply his death |
| 1:42.0 | on the cross. Here's Dr. Spro to explain. |
| 1:47.2 | Today we're going to continue our study of the solas of the Reformation. We've already examined |
| 1:54.1 | Sola Fide, the doctrine of justification by faith alone. And we've looked at Sola Graziah that salvation is by grace alone. And today we're |
| 2:05.3 | going to look at Solus Christus, S-O-L-U-S-O-U-S in this case, which means by Christ alone, or more particularly because of Christ alone. |
