Why is salvation by faith considered good in Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation by faith is considered good because it emphasizes God's grace and the finished work of Christ, rather than human effort.

In Reformed theology, salvation by faith is viewed as good because it rests on God's sovereign grace rather than human merit or effort. Scripture emphasizes this truth in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not as a result of works. This understanding aligns with the doctrine of total depravity, wherein humans are entirely dependent on God's mercy for salvation. A faith-centered salvation acknowledges that Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection are sufficient for our justification, eliminating any need for personal sacrifice to earn favor with God.
