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

Answered in 1 source

Justification is by faith because the Bible states that 'the just shall live by faith,' evidencing that no one can be justified by the law.

In Galatians 3:11, Paul asserts that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God; it is evident because the law requires perfect obedience, which no one can fulfill. Justification comes through faith alone, as seen in the quotation from Habakkuk, 'the just shall live by faith.' This principle demonstrates that salvation cannot be based on human effort, as our works will always fall short of God's holy standard.
