How do we know grace is the only way to salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace is the only means of salvation, as the Bible clearly states that our works cannot contribute to our righteousness.

The assurance that grace is the only way to salvation is deeply rooted in Scripture. Romans 11:6 declares that if salvation is by grace, it cannot involve works. This conviction counters human pride and the delusion that we can earn favor with God. The biblical narrative consistently affirms that no one is righteous in themselves (Romans 3:10-12); thus, any attempt to establish personal righteousness is futile and offensive to God. Salvation is accomplished solely through the finished work of Christ, ensuring that all glory is assigned to Him rather than to human effort. By relying exclusively on grace, believers affirm the sufficiency of Christ’s work and reject the notion that their actions could enhance their acceptance before God.
