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

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a gift from God, not based on our works but on faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. The nature of salvation is such that it cannot stem from any moral achievement or good works on our part. Our best works are described in scripture as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) because they cannot meet the righteous standard of God. Instead, salvation is rooted in the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to believers, affirming that our standing before God is based solely on His grace and mercy.
