How do we know salvation is through faith in Christ?
Answered in 2 sources
Salvation is solely through faith in Christ as proclaimed in Scripture, particularly Ephesians 2:8-9.
Scripture clearly teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, not by our works. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. This is foundational to Reformed theology, reflecting the belief that salvation is entirely the work of Christ and not dependent on human effort. The work of Jesus on the cross alone secures our redemption, and the Holy Spirit is vital in applying this salvation to our hearts, granting us faith and enabling us to respond to the gospel.
