How do we know salvation is through faith alone?

Answered in 16 sources

Salvation is awarded based on faith alone, as demonstrated in Romans 10:9-10, where belief in Jesus leads to righteousness and salvation.

The doctrine of 'faith alone' is supported throughout Scripture, particularly in Romans 10:9-10, which states that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection is the pathway to salvation. It affirms that salvation is not contingent upon our works but rather on God's grace. In understanding this doctrine, we acknowledge that we are incapable of saving ourselves; instead, salvation is a divine act of grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This perspective aligns with the Reformed emphasis on total depravity, affirming that our faith is a response to the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts, enabling us to trust solely in Christ for salvation. Thus, faith is the means, not the merit, for being reconciled to God.
