How do we identify true faith versus false religion?

Answered in 1 source

True faith rests on God's grace through Jesus Christ, while false religion relies on human efforts or traditions.

Identifying true faith versus false religion involves understanding the foundation of one's belief system. True faith is rooted in the grace of God, acknowledging that salvation is a sovereign act of God from beginning to end. It is not dependent on human decision or works, as exemplified by Abel's acceptance by God through faith (Hebrews 11:4). In contrast, false religion, as represented by Babylon, often operates on the premise of human effort and self-justification, drawing people away from reliance on Christ. Believers must discern their faith's authenticity by examining whether it aligns with the redemptive work of Christ and the teachings of Scripture rather than the traditions or merit of man.
