How do we know salvation by grace alone is true?

Answered in 39 sources

Salvation by grace alone is affirmed through scripture, particularly in the New Testament where it is declared that righteousness comes solely through faith in Christ, not through works.

The truth of salvation by grace alone is foundational in the New Testament, whereby it is made clear that no works contribute to one's righteousness before God. In Galatians 5:2-4, Paul asserts that if one looks to the law for justification, they fall from grace. This emphasizes the complete dependency on Christ's atoning work rather than any human effort or adherence to the law. God's sovereignty in salvation asserts that it is not based on what we do, but purely on God's merciful choice to redeem us through Christ, enabling us to gain salvation as a gift through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). As Paul articulates in Romans, we receive the atonement, underscoring that our righteousness arises solely from Christ's finished work.
