How do we know the doctrine of legalism is false?

Answered in 1 source

Legalism is false because the Bible clearly states that we are not saved or justified by our works.

Legalism posits that salvation, justification, and acceptance by God hinge on our adherence to the law, yet this is starkly opposed by Scripture. Romans 3:20 asserts that no one can be justified by the works of the law, and Ephesians 2:8-9 emphatically states that we are saved by grace through faith, not by human actions. This highlights that salvation is entirely an act of divine grace rather than human merit.
