How do we know that justification is by faith alone?

Answered in 26 sources

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is clearly upheld in Scriptures like Romans 3:28 and Galatians 2:16, asserting that it is by faith in Christ, not by the works of the law.

Justification by faith alone is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, rooted deeply in the Scriptures. Acts 13:39 states that all who believe in Jesus are justified from all things from which they could not be justified by the law of Moses. This highlights that no amount of adherence to the law can redeem us. Rather, belief in Christ's finished work is the only way to receive justification. Romans 3:28 amplifies this by affirming that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. The essence of this doctrine is that it exalts God's grace and underscores the complete dependence of humanity on the sovereign work of Christ for salvation.
