Faith Alone

Faith Alone (called "sola fide") is a principle in Christianity that emphasizes salvation is achieved solely through faith in Jesus Christ, not by good deeds or personal efforts. It teaches that trusting in Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient to be forgiven and granted eternal life, highlighting the importance of belief over works. While good actions are a response of genuine faith, they are not the means to earn salvation. This doctrine encourages believers to rely entirely on God's grace, emphasizing that salvation is a gift received through trust, not something earned by human effort.
