How do we know salvation is by grace through faith alone?
Answered in 2 sources
Salvation is by grace through faith alone as evidenced in Scripture, emphasizing that it is not of ourselves but a gift from God.
The doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith alone is foundational in Reformed theology. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that it is by grace we are saved through faith, and it is not of ourselves; it is a gift of God. This underscores that no works can earn salvation, as our best efforts are viewed as worthless before God’s holiness. Romans 3:24 illustrates that we are justified freely by His grace through redemption in Christ, confirming that our righteousness is based solely on Christ's sacrifice, not our own merits.
