How do we know that God saves by faith alone?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture consistently affirms that salvation is by faith alone, as seen in Romans 5:1, which states, 'Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.'

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is rooted in biblical teaching, particularly in the letters of Paul. In Romans 5:1, we learn that we are justified by faith, resulting in peace with God through Jesus Christ. This proclamation emphasizes that our standing before God does not depend on any works or merits of our own but solely on our faith in Christ. Additionally, the Reformed tradition looks to passages like Romans 11:6, which states that if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace. This doctrinal clarity stresses that salvation is a divine gift appropriated through faith, granting full assurance to believers that their acceptance comes from Christ alone.
