How do we know that justification by faith alone is true?
Answered in 4 sources
Justification by faith is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Paul’s letters, such as Galatians and Romans, focusing on faith in Christ rather than works.
The doctrine of justification by faith alone is foundational to Reformed theology and is thoroughly supported by Scripture. In Galatians, Paul emphasizes that reliance on works places one back under the law, which is contrary to the message of grace. Romans also highlights that we are justified apart from works, as salvation is a gift through faith in Christ (Romans 3:28). The consistent teaching of the New Testament underscores that it is not our obedience to the law that justifies us, but rather faith in Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf.
