How do we know faith alone is enough for salvation?

Faith alone is affirmed in Scripture as the only means through which we can have assurance of salvation. In 2 Timothy 1:12, Paul states, 'for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I’ve committed to him against that day.' This verse highlights that true faith is not based on personal merit but on the character and ability of Christ. It is a firm conviction that He is faithful, and it is this faith, wholly resting on Christ, that secures our salvation. The essence of faith alone is recognizing that we entrust our entire being to Christ, knowing He is able to save us completely.
