How do we know faith alone is sufficient for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is the only means by which one can attain righteousness, as stated in Romans.

The text illustrates that Gentiles, who were once ignorant of righteousness, attained it through faith. In Romans 9:30, it is declared that they achieved righteousness through faith, contrasting with Israel, which sought to attain righteousness through the law. The essence of the doctrine rests on understanding that human works cannot earn God's favor; instead, it is solely by believing in Christ and submitting to His righteousness that one finds acceptance with God. This is emphasized in Romans 3:20 where it states that by the deeds of the law, no flesh will be justified.
