How do we know that salvation comes through faith, not works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is based entirely on faith, as emphasized throughout Scripture, particularly in Romans 10.

The distinct separation between faith and works in relation to salvation is made clear in Romans 10, where Scripture reveals that God's righteousness is obtained exclusively through faith in Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul addresses the error of the Israelites who sought righteousness through the law rather than by faith (Romans 10:3). True salvation is a gift from God, thus excluding all human boasting and reinforcing that we cannot attain righteousness through our own actions. This mirrors the teaching of Ephesians 2:8-9, affirming that it is by grace we have been saved through faith, and not by works, ensuring that no one can boast about their efforts.
