How do we know our salvation is by faith and not works?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that we are justified by faith, as seen in Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11.

The foundation of Christian salvation rests firmly on faith and not on human works. In Romans 1:17, Paul proclaims, 'The just shall live by faith,' reinforcing that our relationship with God is dependent on faith in Christ, not adherence to the law. In Galatians 3:11, he argues that 'no one is justified before God by the law,' underlining that the law brings a curse rather than righteousness. Such scriptural assertions reveal that our standing before God is secured through faith in Christ’s finished work, which fulfills the law perfectly on our behalf. Therefore, salvation is an act of divine grace, highlighting that it is not earned through our efforts but received by faith.
