How do we know that justification comes by faith alone?
Answered in 2 sources
Justification by faith is affirmed throughout Scripture, emphasizing that our righteousness before God is found solely in Christ.
The doctrine of justification by faith is pivotal in Reformed theology. Romans 3:10-12 states that there is none righteous, no, not one, indicating that human efforts cannot attain righteousness. Only through faith in Jesus Christ can one be justified, as Romans 5:1 proclaims that being justified by faith grants us peace with God. Furthermore, Galatians 2:21 warns that if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ's death is in vain. Thus, true justification rests in Christ's completed work, which is received by faith, not by our own merits.
