The girl with a ‘Solus  Christus’ tattoo

A 'Solus Christus' tatoo design

A ‘pretty’ Filipino who enjoyed a large social media following has come to Christ after having a tattoo of a cross on her arm.

Rachelle, 30, who had garnered thousands of Facebook followers, decided to have a tattoo – and chose a cross which bore the words ‘Solus Christus’ – which means ‘in Christ alone’. She did not know what the words meant, but she went ahead with the tattoo anyway because she liked the way it looked.

Rachelle then became curious as to what ‘Solus Christus’ meant and she looked up the meaning of the words on the internet. This lead her to Reformed theology and she started listening to sermons on YouTube posted by Reformed Baptist preachers. The Lord convicted her of her sins and Rachelle became a believer in February 2022, confessing to having lived a sinful and worldly lifestyle. She also closed her Facebook account.
