How do we know the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith is true?

Answered in 4 sources

We know this doctrine is true as it is rooted in scripture, particularly highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9 that states salvation is a gift from God, not of works.

The doctrine of salvation by grace through faith is affirmed throughout the New Testament, particularly in Ephesians 2:8-9, which proclaims that we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This key doctrine is reiterated by Paul in Galatians, where he argues against any additions to the gospel that incorporate human works into salvation. The centrality of Christ's redemptive work as the alone source of righteousness and the active role of the Holy Spirit in applying salvation to the believer affirm the truth of this doctrine. Furthermore, the fact that salvation is entirely a work of God leaves no room for human effort, thus reinforcing its truth.
