How do we know that being justified by faith is true?
Answered in 2 sources
The scriptures affirm that justification is by faith, as exemplified by Abraham's belief being counted as righteousness.
Paul emphasizes in Galatians 3 that justification comes through faith, as seen in Abraham's example. Genesis 15:6 recounts how Abraham believed God, and that belief was credited to him as righteousness. This foundational truth underscores that our standing before God is based solely on faith, not on works. This is the crux of the Reformed doctrine of justification, which asserts that we are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ, echoing the same principle established with Abraham. The Apostle repeatedly reaffirms this throughout his letters, making it a cornerstone of the Gospel.
