What is Sola Gratia?

Sola gratia, or “grace alone,” is a foundational Reformation doctrine asserting that salvation is an unearned, free gift from God, rather than achieved through human merit or works. It emphasizes that God’s grace is the sole, sufficient cause of salvation, which is received by faith, not earned by human effort.

Scripture References:

  1. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”
