How do we know that salvation by grace alone is true?
Answered in 2 sources
Salvation by grace alone is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Romans 3:24-25 and Ephesians 1:7.
The certainty of salvation by grace alone is deeply embedded in the teachings of Scripture. Romans 3:24-25 states, 'Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.' This affirms that justification—being declared righteous before God—is a gift of grace, highlighting our dependence on Christ's sacrificial death. Furthermore, Ephesians 1:7 reiterates that 'in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.' Together, these passages provide a robust theological framework affirming that grace, not works, is the basis for our salvation, making it a cornerstone of Reformed theology.
