How do we know faith is more important than works?
Answered in 2 sources
The Scriptures emphasize that faith, not works, connects us with God's grace and righteousness.
Paul teaches that faith is central to our relationship with God. In Galatians, he contrasts the works of the law with faith in Christ. We cannot achieve righteousness through our efforts; rather, it's through faith that we are justified before God. The law serves to expose our sin and inability, leading us to rely on grace. True righteousness, as shown through Isaac, is a product of spiritual rebirth and trusting in God's promises, not our works.
