How do we know that salvation is by faith and not by the law?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not by adhering to the law, as seen in the promise given to Abraham.

The argument in Galatians 3 emphasizes that the law cannot save anyone; rather, God’s promise to Abraham established the basis for salvation through faith. Paul points out that righteousness is credited through belief, not works of the law (Galatians 3:21). The law highlights our inability to attain righteousness on our own, demonstrating that all have sinned (Romans 3:23) and fall short of God’s glory. Thus, believers are justified by faith, a central tenet of Reformed theology, affirming that salvation is a gift of grace, not a result of our deeds, fulfilling the promise made to Abraham.
