How do we know the justification by faith doctrine is true?

Answered in 1 source

Justification by faith is grounded in Scripture, asserting that believers are declared righteous through their faith in Christ's sacrifice.

The doctrine of justification by faith is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, supported by numerous biblical passages. Romans 3:28 states that 'a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law,' emphasizing that it is not through our works but through faith in Christ that we are declared righteous before God. Furthermore, in Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul clarifies that salvation is a gift from God, not a result of human effort, thus affirming that our justification relies solely on the merit of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. This doctrine provides believers with a profound sense of assurance and peace, knowing their standing before God is secured by Christ alone.
