What does the Bible say about how to be right with God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that being right with God cannot be achieved by our works but only through faith in Jesus Christ who satisfies divine justice.

The question of how to be right with God is central to all religions, yet they all fundamentally point to works-based salvation. However, Scripture asserts that no amount of human effort can satisfy God's perfect justice. Romans 3:20 tells us that 'by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight.' Instead, righteousness is attained through faith in Jesus Christ, who alone fulfills the requirements of God’s law and pays the price for our sins. Genesis 22 vividly illustrates this truth as Abraham is instructed to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, symbolizing Jesus as the true sacrifice who reconciles us to God.
