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

Answered in 1 source

Justification by faith is confirmed through Scripture, particularly in Romans, where Paul emphasizes that faith, not works, is the means by which we are justified before God.

The doctrine of justification by faith is central to Reformed theology and is thoroughly supported by Scripture. Romans 3:24 proclaims that sinners are justified freely by God's grace through faith in Christ. Paul consistently demonstrates that our righteousness before God is based solely on faith in Jesus, and not on any human merit. This aligns with the teachings of the Old Testament, where David speaks of the blessedness of those whose sins are forgiven, illustrating that from the very beginning, God’s plan for salvation has centered around faith, underscoring the consistency and truth of this doctrine throughout the entire biblical narrative.
