How do we know faith alone is sufficient for salvation?
Answered in 4 sources
Faith alone is sufficient because it is through believing in Christ that we are justified, as demonstrated by Abraham's example.
The question of the sufficiency of faith arises in Paul's letter to the Galatians. He argues that those who insist on adding works to faith are undermining the gospel. Galatians 3:6-9 affirms that Abraham believed God, and this faith was credited to him as righteousness. Paul highlights that the blessing of righteousness comes by faith, not by adherence to the law, as demonstrated in God's covenant with Abraham which promised salvation through faith. Thus, faith in Christ alone is the sole means for salvation, validated by the example of Abraham and the overarching narrative of Scripture.
