How can I be sure I am a believer?

Answered in 1 source

You can be sure you are a believer by the concern you have for your soul and your faith in Jesus Christ.

Assurance of one's belief emerges from an inward concern for the soul and a reliance on Christ for salvation. This longing is a work of grace, indicating that God is stirring your heart toward Him. Genuine faith is not about the strength of one's actions or adherence to law but is characterized by a humble recognition of one's weakness and need for salvation through Christ. The question of whether we are truly believers often reflects our desire for spiritual assurance that leads us to Christ and His finished work. As believers, we continually seek Him for grace, acknowledging our need for mercy.
