How do we know that the doctrine of justification by faith is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Justification by faith is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Romans 5:1, which states that we are justified through faith.

The doctrine of justification by faith is rooted in the teachings of the New Testament, with Paul emphasizing that we are justified by faith apart from works (Romans 3:28). This doctrine highlights that faith in Christ's sacrificial work is the sole basis for our acceptance before God. Furthermore, figures like Abraham are cited as exemplars of faith resulting in righteousness, illustrating that it is not through our own efforts that we are justified but through trust in God's promises. This teaching is considered essential to historic Reformed theology and aligns with the teachings of the early church fathers.
