How can I tell if my faith is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Genuine faith reveals itself through a heart directed towards Christ and His work.

Genuine faith is characterized by a deep reliance on Christ and His completed work of salvation. It is marked by a desire to turn to Him in our struggles, recognizing that without His grace, we are incapable of satisfying God's holiness. Believers should examine their hearts to see if their faith draws them closer to Christ or leads to self-righteousness and pride. This is illustrated in the experience of the Corinthians, who upon receiving correction from Paul felt the comfort and transformation that follows godly sorrow.
