Scripture repeatedly warns against adding to or taking away from its words, emphasizing the importance of sola scriptura.

The Christian message emphasizes the need for salvation by grace alone, as humans are lost in sin and unable to please God with good works or deeds. Scripture teaches that all men are dead in trespasses and sins, and that no one has the ability to escape the chains of their own slavery. The need for grace is underscored by the reality of spiritual slavery, separation from God, and the judgment of God. The provision of grace alone is the unmerited goodness or love of God to those who have forfeited it and are under a sentence of condemnation. [... more]
