How do we know that faith alone in Christ is sufficient for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith alone in Christ is sufficient for salvation because it is through the object of our faith—Jesus Christ—that we are saved, not through our works.

In Hebrews 11:6, we learn that 'without faith it is impossible to please him.' This verse underscores the vital role of faith in our relationship with God. However, it's important to emphasize that faith itself does not save; rather, it is the object of our faith, Jesus Christ, who secures our salvation. The assurance of salvation comes from trusting in Christ's completed work on the cross, where He satisfied God's justice on behalf of His people. Thus, those who genuinely look to Christ by faith are acknowledging that they have no merit of their own and are wholly reliant on His righteousness for salvation.
