How do we know grace through faith is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Grace through faith is the only means of attaining righteousness, as salvation is a gift from God and not based on works (Romans 9:30-32).

Paul explains in Romans 9:30-32 that the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness through the law, attained righteousness through faith. In contrast, Israel, who sought to attain righteousness through the works of the law, failed to do so because they did not seek it by faith but as it were by the works of the law. This underlines that true faith relies entirely on God's grace and not on human effort. The righteousness which comes through faith is entirely a gift, showing that salvation is predicated upon grace, highlighting the necessity of relying solely on Christ's work for salvation.
