Peter's five solas

I believe the Apostle Peter had these five foundational truths or Five solas mentioned in 1st Peter Chapter 1.

Christ Alone – 1:18-19
18 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 who by him do believe in God.

Faith Alone – 1:7-9
 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 

Grace Alone – 1:10
 10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you

Glory to God alone – 1:21
2who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.


Scripture Alone – 1:23-25
 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.


The first chapter a book can be the seed truth chapter to a book.  Just as the book of Genesis is the beginning and the seed book of the bible and for bible doctrine. Many great truths and bible doctrines start in Genesis and goes through the whole bible in the New Testament unto the book of the Revelation.

The fact that the these five solas are in First Peter chapter one as seen as hidden truths, yet are discovered after reading and enlightened by the Holy Spirit in your heart and mind.

The Apostle Peter who was the leader of the Twelve, the Lord Jesus first's man, part of the inner three is the one who gave us these great truths in his first book in his first chapter which he had learn and was in the fragment of his word.  It's not there by chance but a hidden truth from God.

God Bless you,
