How do we know that righteousness by faith is true?
Answered in 2 sources
Righteousness by faith is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Paul's letters, where it teaches that believers are justified freely by grace through faith in Christ.
The doctrine of righteousness by faith is deeply rooted in Scripture. Romans 1:16-17 proclaims, 'For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith.' This encapsulates the essence of the Gospel, emphasizing that justification and righteousness are not earned by works but are a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ. Additionally, Romans 5:19 states that 'by the obedience of One many shall be made righteous,' highlighting that Christ's perfect righteousness is imputed to believers. Thus, the scriptural evidence strongly supports the belief that righteousness is attained through faith alone, aligning with Reformed theology.
