How do we know justification through faith is true?

Answered in 4 sources

Justification by faith is true because it is grounded in the accomplished work of Christ and the promises found throughout Scripture.

The doctrine of justification is central to the Gospel and is affirmed in various places in the New Testament. Romans 5:1 states, 'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This indicates that our acceptance by God is based solely on faith in Christ. The resurrection of Christ demonstrates His victory over sin and death, confirming the validity of His redemptive work. The believer's faith in Christ's righteousness assures that they are declared righteous before God, not based on their works, but solely on what Christ has done. This theological truth provides comfort and assurance to believers.
