How do we know justification through Christ is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Justification through Christ is affirmed in Scripture as a grace given freely to those who believe, contrasting the condemnation brought by Adam.

The doctrine of justification through Christ rests upon the biblical teaching that all are condemned through Adam's transgression, yet those who are in Christ receive the gift of righteousness (Romans 5:18). Paul's message is clear: justification is not based on individual merit but on Christ’s redemptive work. The grace of God abounds even more than sin, highlighting that Christ's obedience provides a judicial standing before God that is unearned and unconditional. This truth is foundational in Reformed theology, emphasizing that salvation is entirely by God's grace based on Christ's righteousness.
