How do we know that righteousness comes by faith?

Answered in 1 source

We know righteousness comes by faith because the Scriptures consistently affirm this doctrine, notably in Galatians and the writings of Paul (Galatians 2:21, Romans 1:17).

The doctrine that righteousness comes by faith is a central theme in the New Testament, especially in the writings of Paul. Passages like Romans 3:28 affirm that we are justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Furthermore, Galatians 2:21 explicitly states that if righteousness could indeed come through the law, then Christ died in vain. Faith is not merely a mental agreement; it is a trust in the finished work of Christ, which was necessary because the law exposes our inability to achieve true righteousness. Therefore, the clarity of the Gospel message rests on this foundational truth: our justification before God is secured by faith alone.
