How do we know that salvation is through faith alone?

Answered in 36 sources

Salvation is through faith alone as repeatedly affirmed in Scripture, emphasizing trust in Christ's finished work rather than our own efforts (Romans 3:28).

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, reinforced in Romans 3:28, which states that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. This clarifies that human works cannot contribute to our standing before God. The examples of Old Testament saints, such as Abraham in Galatians 3:6, illustrate this principle, as their faith was credited to them as righteousness. Thus, salvation rests solely on God's grace and the complete sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, a truth that is crucial for all believers to affirm.
