How do we know salvation by grace alone is true?

Answered in 29 sources

Salvation by grace alone is affirmed in the Scriptures, which teach that we are new creations in Christ, not by our efforts, but by God's sovereign choice.

The truth of salvation by grace alone is firmly rooted in Scripture, specifically in the teachings that emphasize our union with Christ and His redemptive work. In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul writes that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves but a gift from God, underscoring that no one can boast in their actions. This grace results in a new creation where the believer is made a new man in Christ, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:17, emphasizing that our transformation is entirely God's doing, ensuring that our salvation depends solely on Him and not on our merits. This certainty of divine grace provides both assurance and hope.
