Of the three solas of the Reformation, “sola fides” means
A
only the Bible
B
only grace
C
only works
D
only faith
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All of the solae show up in various writings by the Protestant Reformers, but they are not catalogued together by any. 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: -Most members of our churches – and perhaps not a few pastors – would be hard-pressed to name the “three solas” identified with the Reformation. They are sola scriptura, sola gratia and sola fide, that is, scripture alone, by grace alone, through faith alone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soli Deo Gloria “To the Glory of God Alone"

Detailed explanation-4: -Sola Gratia (Grace alone) Salvation is the free gift of God to man. Sola Fide (Faith alone) We are judged righteous in the sight of God purely on the basis of our faith. Solus Christus (Christ alone) Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) Soli Deo Gloria (To the glory of God alone)
