How do we know that God saves through grace alone?

Answered in 1 source

We know God saves through grace alone because the apostles confirmed it during the Jerusalem Council by acknowledging the saving work of the Holy Spirit among the Gentiles.

The certainty that God saves through grace alone is affirmed in Acts 15, where Peter and other apostles gather to address the dispute regarding circumcision and the law's role in salvation. Peter points to the tangible evidence of the Holy Spirit's work among the Gentiles, demonstrating that God was saving them apart from the law. The affirmation of grace as the means of salvation reflects a deep theological understanding rooted in Scripture, where God actively chooses and saves individuals by His grace alone. This truth is paramount in Reformed theology, emphasizing that our salvation is entirely dependent on God's sovereign will and grace, as seen in passages like Romans 3:23-24.
