How do we know that justification is by faith and not by the law?

Answered in 3 sources

Scripture declares that justification comes through faith in Christ alone, as the law cannot justify anyone.

The Bible clearly asserts that justification cannot be attained through adherence to the law. In Galatians 2:16, Paul states, 'a person is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.' This message is emphasized throughout the New Testament, showing that the law serves as a tutor to lead us to Christ, not as a means of salvation (Galatians 3:24). The nature of the law, as expressed in Galatians 3:10-13, reveals that those who rely on works are under a curse, while Christ has redeemed believers from the law's curse through His sacrifice. Thus, it is through faith in Christ that we receive the righteousness that leads to justification before God.
