How do we know that faith alone saves us?

Answered in 7 sources

Faith alone saves us because salvation is secured through trusting in Christ's finished work, not our own efforts (Romans 3:28).

The doctrine of salvation by faith alone is rooted in numerous biblical passages, particularly Romans 3:28, which states, 'Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.' This highlights that justification—being declared righteous before God—is based solely on faith in Jesus Christ. The scripture emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice and the necessity of resting in Him, as illustrated in the story of the woman with the issue of blood, who simply touched His garment and was healed. Her action, driven by faith, points us to the truth that it is not our faith that saves us, but rather the object of our faith—Jesus alone.
