True belief in Christ involves a heartfelt commitment, seen in repentance and a transformation of life.
To know if you truly believe in Christ, assess whether your faith is more than intellectual agreement; it should be a deep-hearted commitment to Him as your Savior and Lord. This commitment manifests itself in the way you live and interact with the world. True belief produces repentance, where one acknowledges their spiritual blindness and turns from sin to embrace Christ fully (Acts 26:18). As you grow in knowledge and relationship with Him, you will find an increasing desire to trust Him completely for your salvation and guidance, indicating a life transformed by faith. This spiritual awakening can lead to a profound awareness of your dependence on Christ and His grace alone.
