How do we know that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone?
Answered in 1 source
Salvation is secured through faith in Christ alone, as He fulfilled the law for us and took our penalty upon Himself.
Salvation by faith in Christ alone is a cornerstone of sovereign grace theology, emphasizing that our righteousness is not based on our own works but on the perfect work of Christ. Galatians 2:21 states that if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died in vain. Additionally, Romans 10:4 declares, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' This teaches us that faith in Christ secures our salvation, as He completely fulfilled the requirements of the law and bore the penalty for our sin at the cross. We are accepted in the Beloved, not because of our law-keeping, but because of Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial love.
