How do we know that salvation is by faith in Christ alone?
Answered in 2 sources
Salvation is confirmed through Scripture, which consistently teaches that it is by grace through faith in Christ, not by works.
The assurance of salvation by faith alone is thoroughly grounded in Scripture. For instance, Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that it is not of ourselves, nor is it of works, lest anyone should boast. This principle is reinforced by Paul in both his letters to Timothy and the Galatians, where he details how faith and belief in the Gospel of Christ is the vehicle by which one receives the grace of salvation. The consistent Biblical narrative teaches that it is God's work in us through Christ that grants us salvation, a truth that is foundational to sovereign grace theology.
