How do we know faith alone is enough for salvation?

Answered in 4 sources

Faith alone is sufficient for salvation because it recognizes that we are wholly dependent on Christ's righteousness and not our own works.

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is central to Reformed theology, affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, which reminds us that salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our works. This grace through faith demonstrates our total reliance on Christ, as seen in Romans 4:5, where faith in Him who justifies the ungodly is counted as righteousness. Our faith is not merely a one-time act but an ongoing response to God's grace, reflecting a heart transformed by the Spirit. Trusting in Christ alone for our righteousness ensures that no one can boast about their salvation, as all glory belongs to God.
