The Significance of Solus Christus

Solus Christus asserts the exclusivity of Christ as the source of our salvation and the sole mediator between God and mankind. In contrast to the medieval church's emphasis on various mediators, this doctrine emphasizes Christ as the ultimate savior. The Reformation leaders aimed to combat the multitude of mediators and ensure that salvation is solely through Christ's work and not based on church institutions or works. Through baptism and the preached word, believers find assurance and connection to Christ, offering a tangible and objective source of faith.
