SOLI DEO GLORIA ("glory to God alone")
Soli Deo gloria teaches that all glory is due to God alone, since salvation is accomplished solely through his will and his action. Not only the gift of the all-sufficient atonement of Jesus on the cross, but also the gift of faith in that atonement, created in the heart of the believer by the Holy Spirit, is the sole work of God. The reformers believed that human beings, even saints and popes and clergy canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, are not worthy of the glory that has been accorded them.
