“Solas” of the Protestant Reformation

 

Sola Scriptura

The Bible is the sole written divine revelation and alone can bind the conscience of believers absolutely.

Sola Fide

Justification is by faith alone. The merit of Christ imputed to us by faith is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are remitted.

Solus Christus

Christ is the only mediator through whose work we are redeemed.

Sola Gratia

Our salvation rests solely on the work of God’s grace for us and in us.

Soli Deo Gloria

To God alone belongs the glory.
