To ensure you are trusting in the true Christ, look to Scripture for His attributes as God, the sinless Redeemer.
Trusting in the true Christ involves recognizing Him as God manifest in the flesh, without sin, and the Redeemer for a specific people. The Bible explicitly describes His nature and work, providing clarity on who He is (John 1:14). It is crucial not to rely on personal experiences or actions, such as a one-time decision, but rather to evaluate whether one's faith aligns with the biblical portrayal of Christ. Looking to Scripture, one should focus on His work of redemption and acknowledge that true faith is a gift from God that transforms one's heart to love and serve Him earnestly.
