How do we know justification is through faith?

Answered in 1 source

Justification comes through faith, as highlighted in Romans 5:1, where Paul states that we are justified by faith and have peace with God.

The doctrine of justification by faith is foundational in Reformed theology, rooted in Scripture. Romans 5:1 clearly states, 'Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This indicates that justification is not based on our works or righteousness but through faith in Christ who fulfilled the law and answered God’s justice. In the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee, it is the humble acknowledgment of sin and reliance on God's mercy that leads to justification, emphasizing that it is God's work in us, and not our own efforts, that secures our standing before Him.
