How do we know the doctrine of free righteousness is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know the doctrine of free righteousness is true through the teachings of Scripture and the work of Christ on the cross.

The doctrine of free righteousness, or justification by faith, is rooted in the biblical narrative that emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice. This is illustrated in Romans 5:1, which states, 'Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This peace comes from the realization that our standing before God is not based on our merits but entirely on Christ's finished work. By trusting in Jesus, we are granted His righteousness, as affirmed in 2 Corinthians 5:21, indicating that 'for our sake, He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' This truth provides profound assurance of our standing before God.
