How do we know that salvation is through faith in Christ?
Answered in 7 sources
Salvation is known to be through faith in Christ as it is taught in the Scriptures, particularly in Ephesians 2:8-9, emphasizing grace through faith.
The certainty of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ is firmly established in Scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that 'by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This passage underscores that salvation is a divine gift, not earned by human effort but received through faith in Christ. The emphasis on faith highlights the need for reliance on Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection as the sole basis for justification before God, aligning with historic Reformed theology.
