What does "Sola Scriptura" mean? It means "Only Scripture." In other words, (for a Christian) only authoritative source that we have is the "Bible."
What does that mean? That means at least 3 things...
1. The Bible is the only resource we need to know a) God's nature, b) His attribues, (c) what He has done, d) what He will do, e) His plan of salvation, d) etc.
2. The Bible is the only resource we need to know a) who we are, b) how to be saved, c) what it means to be saved, d) what is pleasing and glorifying to God, e) etc.
3. The Bible is the only resource we need to grow spiritually and to mature which means that no one is with an excuse. Each believer (especially in the U.S.) is fully resposible for his/her own spiritual growth. It is also God's "manna" for our day through which He desires to have a relationship with us.
