How do we know that faith alone saves according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, not by our works.

The doctrine of salvation by grace through faith alone is central to the Reformed perspective, as highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast. This principle aligns with the teaching in Matthew 7:22-23, where individuals claim their works as the basis for entering the kingdom, yet are rejected because their reliance is misplaced. True salvation and acceptance before God hinge upon the finished work of Christ rather than our own efforts. This reflects the core of historic Reformed theology, affirming that we cannot earn God's favor through our deeds but only receive it through faith in Jesus Christ.
