How do we know that justification by faith is true?
Answered in 11 sources
Justification by faith is affirmed in Scripture, emphasizing that faith in Christ leads to our righteousness being credited to us by God (Romans 3:24-26).
The doctrine of justification by faith is grounded in biblical revelation, particularly in Romans 3:24-26, which asserts that we are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This signifies that when we place our faith in Christ, His righteousness is imputed to us. The doctrine emerges from understanding God’s justice and grace, demonstrating that it is not through our merit but through faith in Christ's finished work that we are declared righteous. Thus, justification is an act of God’s grace, satisfying justice and providing us with the full assurance of salvation.
