How do we know that God saves sinners by faith alone?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is affirmed in Scripture, declaring that salvation is based entirely on Christ’s merit and not on human works.

Justification by faith alone holds a central place in Reformed theology, rooted firmly in the teachings of Scripture such as Romans 3:28 which states, 'For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.' This doctrine emphasizes that God justifies sinners on the basis of Christ's righteousness alone. It's not merely a matter of what men can do to earn favor but rather what Christ has accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection for those chosen by God. The assurance of salvation is therefore not conditioned on our actions, but solely on the grace of God bestowed upon us through faith.
