How do we know salvation by works is the religion of Babel?

The religion of Babel is any system that relies on human achievement for salvation. This includes beliefs that one must perform certain works, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of salvation, to attain grace or favor with God. The text emphasizes that if a person thinks their actions or choices contribute to their salvation, they are embodying the confusion of Babel. Instead, the Reformed perspective asserts that salvation is entirely by grace through faith in Christ, with works serving only as evidence of true faith, not a means of obtaining it (Ephesians 2:8-9). This distinction between grace and works is crucial for understanding the correct interpretation of scripture and the gospel's true message.
