How do we know justification by faith is true?

Answered in 220 sources

Justification by faith is confirmed through the scriptures, particularly in the epistles of Paul, which articulate that we are declared righteous solely based on faith in Jesus Christ.

Scripture consistently articulates the doctrine of justification by faith, primarily through the writings of Paul. In Romans 3:21-22, we see that righteousness is given to all who believe, which implies that this doctrine is vital and foundational for understanding salvation. Furthermore, passages such as Galatians 2:16 reiterate that a man is justified not by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. This reinforces the truth that our standing before God hinges not on our actions but solely on the redemptive work and obedience of Christ, evidenced throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
