Grace through faith is validated through the teachings of Scripture, particularly in the works of Christ and the declarations made in the New Testament.
Scripture assures us that we are justified by faith and not by our works. In Romans 3:28, Paul states that we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. This truth is grounded in Christ’s sacrifice, where through one offering, He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14). The law serves to illuminate our inability to save ourselves, which leads us to recognize our need for grace. The covenant of grace reveals that salvation is a gift from God, accessible to all who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, fulfilling the promises of the Old Testament.
