How do we know salvation by grace is true?

Answered in 264 sources

Salvation by grace is corroborated through Scripture, revealing that it is by God's sovereign grace alone that individuals are saved, not by their own efforts or adherence to the law.

The doctrine of salvation by grace alone is firmly rooted in the biblical teaching that no one can achieve righteousness or be justified through the law. In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.' This emphasizes that salvation is a divine gift and not a result of human endeavor. Furthermore, Romans 3:28 concludes that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law, reinforcing that only through faith in Christ's redemptive work can one gain acceptance with God. Thus, Scripture consistently supports the truth that salvation is by grace alone through faith.
