How do we know salvation is by faith and not by works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is through faith in Christ's completed work, not through our own efforts.

Romans 9:31-32 illustrates that Israel sought righteousness through the law but did not attain it because they pursued it by works instead of faith. The law is meant to highlight our inability to meet God's standards, leading us to understand that only by faith in Christ's death and resurrection can we be justified. We cannot rely on our own righteousness for salvation; it is only through Christ that we are acceptable to God. This underscores the grace of God that extends mercy to sinners who trust in Him alone.
