This article investigates the important role which the concept of sola fide plays in the Christology of Hermann Friedrich Kohlbrugge. Sola fide is decisive not only for the order of salvation but also for the history of salvation as far as the advent and work of Christ are concerned. It is also important to note the determining role ascribed to the grace of God in man's salvation, because man in himself is flesh and totally incapable of saving himself. Faith is not an achievement by man but a free gift of the Spirit of God.
