Salvation by faith alone is confirmed by Jesus' teaching that belief in Him is the sole requirement for salvation (John 6:29).
The doctrine of salvation by faith alone finds its foundation in the teachings of Jesus. In John 6:29, He specifies that the work of God is to believe in Him whom the Father has sent. This singular focus on belief highlights that there are no additional works required for salvation—faith is sufficient. Throughout the New Testament, the apostles echo this truth, reinforcing that it is not our works, but faith in Christ that secures our salvation. This affirmation of faith alone is essential in historic Reformed theology and reflects the core of the Five Solas.
