How do we know grace alone is true?

Answered in 11 sources

Grace alone is affirmed by the teachings of Scripture, particularly where God declares that salvation cannot be earned by works.

The doctrine of grace alone is grounded in Scripture, which teaches that salvation cannot be achieved through human effort or adherence to the law. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. This concept is further reinforced by Paul in Galatians 2:16, emphasizing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. Trusting in works undermines the grace of God, revealing that salvation is entirely dependent on Christ’s righteousness, not our own.
