Five solae of the Protestant Reformation |
---|
Sola scriptura |
Sola fide |
Sola gratia |
Solus Christus |
Soli Deo gloria |
Solus Christus or In Christo solo ( Latin in + ablative, sōlō Christō, meaning "in Christ alone") is one of the five solae that summarize the Protestant Reformers' basic belief that salvation is by faith in Christ alone. [1]
Through the atoning work of Jesus Christ alone, apart from individual works, and that Christ is the only mediator between God and man. [1] [2] It holds that salvation cannot be obtained without Christ. [1] [3]
This is in opposition to Catholic doctrine which Mary, mother of Jesus is also mediator between God and humanity ( Mediatrix). [4]
As the foundation of the "solus christus" doctrine, various biblical verses can be invoked according to theologians.
