How do we know we are saved through faith in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation through faith in Christ is rooted in the assurance that His finished work on the cross satisfies God's justice on our behalf.

The doctrine of justification by faith is central to Reformed theology, affirming that we are saved solely through faith in the finished work of Christ. Romans 8:4 emphasizes that the righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled in us, indicating that our acceptance before God is not founded on our merit, but on Jesus' obedience and sacrifice. Faith, in this context, is not a work we accomplish but a resting in what Christ has accomplished for us. Our assurance comes from believing in the sufficiency of His atonement, whereby we are counted righteous in Him.
