A veces una palabra es lo único que se interpone entre la verdad y la mentira, entre la vida y la muerte. En la Reforma, esa palabra fue sola. En una época en la que los líderes de la iglesia pretendían hablar en nombre de Dios, los reformadores protestantes recordaron al pueblo de Dios que la Escritura sola es nuestra autoridad infalible. Mientras que muchas personas buscaban la manera de ganarse el cielo, los reformadores proclamaron con valentía el único evangelio verdadero: la salvación es por gracia sola, por medio de la fe sola, en Cristo solo, para que a Dios solo sea la gloria.Esa palabra, sola, marcó la diferencia entonces y marca la diferencia hoy. Aprovecha este devocional para pasar noventa días con las cinco solas de la Reforma. Estas verdades bíblicas fundamentales muestran la fiabilidad de la Palabra de Dios y la profundidad de Su misericordia, ayudándote a crecer en la fe día a día. Sometimes one word is all that stands between the truth and a lie, between life and death. In the Reformation, that word was sola, "alone." At a time when leaders in the church claimed to speak for God, the Protestant Reformers reminded God's people that Scripture alone is our infallible authority. While many people sought to work their way to heaven, the Reformers boldly proclaimed the only true gospel: salvation is by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.That word, "alone," made all the difference then, and the same is true today. Take up this devotional to spend ninety days with the five solas of the Reformation. These core biblical truths display the reliability of God's Word and the depths of His mercy, helping you grow in faith day by day.

"This book is the Spanish translation of "A Field Guide on False Teaching" (Ligonier Ministries, LCCN: 2020934593. The first part to this booklet sets out all that is involved in the task of apologetics by first defining essential Christian beliefs. It calls Christians to engage with falsehood through the clear teaching of Scripture that we are to defend, contend, and proclaim the faith once delivered to all the saints. This first part also serves as an introduction to the booklet as a whole. The second part of this booklet presents the fundamental beliefs of Christian sects, Christian cults, and world religions. Each section covering a specific false teaching overviews the history, major beliefs, major differences with orthodox Christianity, and prompts for Christian engagement. Within the category of false teaching that strays from the historic Christian faith, this booklet focuses on the prosperity gospel, deism, and legalism and antinomianism. Many of these movements, while they may affirm essentials of the Christian faith, obscure the clarity of the gospel of Jesus Christ, deny aspects of God's involvement in the world, and jeopardize the lives of the people who act on these false beliefs. Within the category of Christian cults that pervert and overturn basic Christian doctrines, this booklet focuses on Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, and Christian Science. These movements are labeled cults because their denial of such doctrines as the Trinity entirely removes them from the historic Christian tradition. While they use much of the same language of Christianity, they cannot be properly called Christian. Within the category of world religions and worldviews that deny and compete with the truth claims of Christianity, this booklet focuses on Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, spiritualism and the new age movement, and atheism and secularism. While the existence of world religions points to the reality that all people were created to worship, they pose a threat to the basic truth that no one can be saved apart from the grace of God in Jesus Christ. Worldviews that deny the existence of God need to be exposed for subverting and suppressing the truth of God's revelation in creation of His existence and divine power. Especially as we consider the growth of secularism and Islam, it is vital that Christians know what others believe in order to engage with them in a winsome, intelligent, and sincere manner. The final part of this booklet encourages Christians with the truth that it is God who changes hearts so that they might be confident in sharing their faith. This last section is important because this booklet aims to highlight the vast differences between the historic Christian faith and all forms of false teaching. The gulf that separates Christianity from these aberrant beliefs is so daunting that without the truth that God changes hearts the task that Christians are called to would seem hopeless. The truth that God alone changes hearts prompts us to rely on the Holy Spirit in patience and prayer as we share the good news of Jesus Christ with all people"--

Recognizing error and responding with the truth. How do you know if someone is telling the truth about God? And how should you respond if they are not? Every Christian is responsible for knowing God's Word and sharing it with others. But in a world affected by sin, false teaching is everywhere. Many people obscure, distort, or challenge what God has revealed in Scripture -- even some leaders in the church. To be better prepared as witnesses for Christ, we must identify falsehood and the devastating harm it brings.
