How do we know that salvation is by faith, not works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is by faith alone, as taught in Ephesians 2:8-9, emphasizing it is a gift from God, not a result of our works.

Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of our own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. The idea that one can achieve righteousness through personal effort is a foundational error in misguided beliefs about salvation. Instead, true faith acknowledges that there is nothing we can do to earn God's favor, and it is through Christ's work alone that we are justified. Paul makes this clear in Acts 13:39, stating that we cannot be justified by the law of Moses but are justified through faith in Jesus Christ. This focus on faith underscores the Reformed emphasis on solo Christo—salvation through Christ alone.
