How do we know the doctrine of salvation is true?

Answered in 16 sources

The doctrine of salvation is true as it is based on God's promises in Scripture and demonstrated through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.

The truth of the doctrine of salvation is anchored in the authoritative and inspired Word of God. Scripture asserts that salvation is not dependent on human works or heritage, as illustrated in the account of Lot’s wife, who despite her privileges, was unable to save herself from destruction. The essence of salvation lies in a genuine heart commitment to Christ, demonstrating that belief must manifest in one’s life and choices, repudiating worldly desires.

Furthermore, the Acts of God through Jesus Christ affirm the veracity of salvation. Christ’s life, death, and resurrection are central to the faith, serving as the ultimate expression of grace. The resurrection power validates the promise that those who place their faith in Him will be saved from condemnation. Therefore, the reality of this doctrine is experienced not merely through intellectual assent but by a transformative relationship with Christ that results in a heart turned wholly toward Him, desiring to forsake its old ways.
