GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1916, Lutheran scholar Theodore Engelder published an article titled “The Three Principles of the Reformation: Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fides” ("only scripture, only grace, only faith").

Detailed explanation-2: -They are sola scriptura, sola gratia and sola fide, that is, scripture alone, by grace alone, through faith alone. While historically important as the rallying cry of the magisterial Reformers, they continue to be important for a church that seeks to uphold the Gospel insights Luther brought to the church.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sola Fide – By Faith Alone; Sola Gratia – By Grace Alone; and Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone. For Martin Luther and many of the reformers, this was a rallying cry which still echoes today.

Detailed explanation-4: -Luther’s central claim is that faith alone justifies (that is, makes a person righteous in the eyes of God) the one who believes in Christ as a result of hearing the gospel. This faith affects the imputation of Christ’s righteousness that covers the sins of the believer.
