How do we know that obeying God's law is not for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding Romans 3:10-12 clarifies that no one can be righteous or obey God's law perfectly for salvation.

The assertion that obeying God's law does not lead to salvation is bolstered by scripture, particularly in Romans 3:10-12, where it states that 'there is none righteous, no, not one.' In this regard, Titus 3:5 reinforces this truth by declaring that salvation is not by works of righteousness that we have done, but purely according to God's mercy. This understanding is critical as it acknowledges our total reliance on Christ who fulfilled the law perfectly in our stead, thereby freeing us from the burden of law-keeping as a means of achieving salvation.
