“But test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22
“The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.”
— Psalm 19:7–11The Scriptural Inquiry exists to call believers back to the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word. In an age of countless voices, traditions, and interpretations, we are committed to pointing Christians to Scripture as the ultimate standard by which every doctrine, practice, and claim must be measured. Our desire is not to win arguments but to pursue truth, exalting Christ above every human opinion and submitting every belief to the unchanging Word of God.
We pray that through careful biblical study, faithful exposition, and humble inquiry, believers will be strengthened in discernment, rooted more deeply in the gospel, and equipped to stand firmly in the truth. May every page lead not merely to greater knowledge, but to greater love for Christ, greater obedience to His Word, and a life lived for the glory of God alone.
The Five Solas
The Five Solas summarize foundational convictions of the Protestant Reformation. Together, they affirm that salvation is God’s work from beginning to end, that Christ alone is our Savior and Mediator, and that Scripture is the supreme authority for the Christian faith and life.
Sola Scriptura — Scripture Alone
Scripture is the inspired, sufficient, and final authority for faith and practice. Every doctrine, tradition, and teaching must be tested according to God’s Word.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness…” — 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (ESV)
Sola Fide — Faith Alone
We are justified before God by faith alone in Jesus Christ, apart from our own works, because of His finished work on the cross.
“For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.” — Romans 3:28 (ESV)
Sola Gratia — Grace Alone
Salvation is entirely the gift of God’s grace. It cannot be earned or deserved but is freely given through His mercy.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” — Ephesians 2:8–9 (ESV)
Solus Christus — Christ Alone
Jesus Christ is the only Savior, the only Mediator between God and man, and the only foundation of our salvation.
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” — 1 Timothy 2:5 (ESV)
Soli Deo Gloria — To the Glory of God Alone
All of life, worship, and salvation exist for the glory of God alone. He alone deserves all praise, honor, and glory.
“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” — Romans 11:36 (ESV)
Acts 17:11
“Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.”
Examining Scripture is essential to understanding the truth of the Christian faith. Throughout Scripture, believers are encouraged not only to receive teachings but to carefully test and examine them according to God’s Word. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, we are called to search the Scriptures daily and discern whether what we hear is true. Through careful study, prayer, and humility, we grow in our knowledge of God, strengthen our faith, and seek to understand His truth more deeply.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105
