The Other “Solas”

#6 – “Overhauling the Sacraments in the Reformation Yards”

 

 1 Corinthians 4:1-2  This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2  Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

 

Use God’s Means of Grace to Stay and grow on the Ship of God’s Grace

 

  1. The Sound Ship Is Build

 

     The ship building of Christ –

 

               The Word - John 17:17  

 

               The Sacraments – 1 Corinthians 11:25-26  

                                             1 Corinthians 10:16 16     

 

     The Early Church –and the wide use of  “sacramentum”

                

     The toll of time  - the Scholastic period  and ex opera operato  

 

  1. The Shipwreck of Rome

 

               The Planks of Salvation -  

 

               The sacraments become “planks” of Justification and the church controls and

               dispenses thru  Priests

 

                Justification a process  –  Righteousness infused  

              

  1. Overhaul in the Reformation Yards

 

               Once again.. the Word…

 

               Luther on the Means of grace

  

                 Priesthood of all believers  -    Revelation 1:5-7  

 

               Luther on the Sacraments – there are only two

 

                              Baptism –

 

                              Lord’s supper

              

               Justification is an Act…righteousness is imputed

                             

               Are you aboard  the simple ship called  Christ?

              

                               Philippians 3:8-9
