How do we know that salvation is by faith?

Answered in 6 sources

Salvation is confirmed by Scripture, which states that the just shall live by faith and that it is through faith that we receive God's promises.

The doctrine of salvation by faith is rooted in the Scriptures, particularly emphasized in passages like Romans 4:16, which states that it is of faith to ensure that the promise is sure to all the seed. Faith is the means by which believers receive spiritual life, and it is also what sustains and perfects that life. True believers reject works righteousness and cling solely to faith in Christ, as expressed in Ephesians 2:8-9, affirming that salvation is not of works, lest anyone should boast. This foundational belief is crucial for understanding the grace of God in salvation.
