How do we know the doctrine of salvation through faith is true?
Answered in 1 source
Salvation is assured through faith in Christ, as affirmed in Romans 1:16 which states the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
The doctrine of salvation through faith is firmly rooted in Scripture. Romans 1:16 declares that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. This indicates that salvation is not achieved through works or personal merit, but through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. The Apostle Paul further underscores this point throughout his letters, emphasizing that it is by grace through faith that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9). Believing in the gospel connects us to the powerful work of regeneration initiated by the Holy Spirit, thereby assuring us of our salvation.
