How do we define true faith according to the Bible?

According to 2 Peter 1:1, true faith is described as 'like precious faith' that is obtained through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ. This means that genuine faith is a gift from God, highlighted by His grace rather than a product of free will decisions by individuals. Those who possess true faith are those who are convinced of their sinfulness and the righteousness required by God, navigating through divine conviction before being led to Christ. Believers are encouraged to look back on their experiences to confirm whether their faith aligns with the scriptural expectation of God-given faith, which is transformative and leads to genuine repentance.
