Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." The statement "Sola Fide" reminds us that faith alone, by the means of Christ's atonement on the cross, is what justifies and puts us in right standing with God. While this faith is not fully seen, one day it will be made sight, when we see Jesus face to face.
