solus Christus
One of five Latin statements that summarize the core teachings of the Protestant Reformation. It means “Christ alone,” and refers to the truth that salvation is based exclusively on the mediatorial work of Christ. His sinless life and substitutionary death are the sufficient and sole grounds on which those who are being saved receive all the benefits included in their salvation.
