Soli Deo Gloria means 'to God alone be the glory,' underscoring that all aspects of life and salvation are designed to honor God (Philippians 2:9-11).
The principle of soli Deo Gloria encapsulates the ultimate purpose of human existence: to glorify God in all things. This doctrine asserts that every event in history and every act of creation culminate in the glory of God, including the salvation of the elect. Philippians 2:9-11 emphasizes that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This underscores the belief that God's eternal plan has been orchestrated to fulfill His ultimate purpose, pleasing Himself through the mercy extended to sinners while also highlighting His sovereignty in their salvation and the realization of His glory through their lives.
