How do we know that salvation is by grace alone and not by works?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that salvation is through faith in Christ, apart from the works of the law, guaranteeing that no one can boast in their own efforts.

We know that salvation is by grace alone through scripture passages such as Galatians 2:16, which explicitly declares that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. The Reformed perspective holds that our righteousness and sanctification are entirely dependent on Christ’s perfect work, rather than any human effort. The principle of grace assures us that salvation is a gift from God, not something earned, meaning that all glory for redemption belongs to Him alone. This understanding protects believers from the perils of self-righteousness that arise when one believes their actions contribute to their salvation.
