How do we know that we can be justified by faith in Jesus?
Answered in 1 source
We know we are justified by faith through the clear teachings of Scripture which declare Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers.
The assurance of our justification by faith comes from the Scriptures, particularly in Romans 1:16-17, which states that the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; the just shall live by faith. This principle, established by God's promise before the foundation of the world, is clarified throughout the Bible, especially in the New Testament. Romans 4 also emphasizes that even as David described the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works, believers today can rest assured of their justification because it is based on the finished work of Christ. His death and resurrection provide the legal ground for our justification, and since it is God who justifies, we can be confident in our standing before Him.
