How do we know faith alone saves?

Answered in 1 source

Faith alone saves because salvation is a gift from God, not based on our works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The doctrine of justification by faith alone, as supported in Ephesians 2:8-9, posits that we are saved through grace, meaning no human effort can earn salvation. In Reformed theology, this is foundational; we affirm that faith is the means through which we receive the gift of salvation. It is not through our works or adherence to the law but through trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross that we are justified before God. This principle, central to the Five Solas, emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's atonement and highlights our complete dependence on His grace for salvation.
