How do we know that righteousness is by faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Righteousness is by faith as demonstrated in Romans 3:21-22, showing that it is God's righteousness, not ours, received through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:21-22 provides a clear distinction about righteousness: it is the 'righteousness of God' that is revealed 'through faith in Jesus Christ.' Human efforts or adherence to the law cannot justify a person before God; only faith in Christ can grant righteousness. This is further affirmed in Romans 4, where Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness long before the law was given. The essence of sovereign grace theology is rooted in the belief that our righteousness before God is completely reliant on Christ, not our works.
