salvation by faith
Belief secures deliverance
Salvation by faith is the Protestant Christian doctrine that believers are saved from sin and granted eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not through good works or religious rituals.
The principle, central to the Reformation, holds that grace is a divine gift received by trusting in Christ's sacrifice: Luther taught salvation by faith, not by indulgences.
The phrase often appears as salvation by faith alone or in its Latin form, sola fide.
