How do we know that justification is by grace?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture consistently teaches that justification is a gift from God granted through faith in Christ, not based on human effort.

Justification is a central tenet of Reformed theology, affirming that believers are declared righteous before God solely by grace through faith in Christ. This doctrine is supported by multiple passages in Scripture, such as Romans 3:24, which states that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. It is crucial to understand that justification means being declared not guilty, as the believer's sin is imputed to Christ and His righteousness is imputed to them. This divine exchange reveals the depth of God's grace—He charges our sins to Christ and bestows His perfect righteousness upon us. Moreover, through this grace, believers receive the assurance of their eternal security.
