How do we know that we are made righteous by faith in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
We know we are made righteous by faith in Christ because Scripture affirms this truth, especially through the teachings of Paul and James.
The New Testament consistently affirms that believers are made righteous through faith in Christ, not by their own works. Romans 3:21-22 reveals that the righteousness of God is manifested through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe, irrespective of their past actions. Additionally, James highlights that true faith is tested and strengthened through trials, ultimately leading to our understanding of our position in Christ. This righteousness does not stem from our efforts but is a gift received through faith, distinguishing God's grace as the source of our justification.
