How do we know faith is the correct response to God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is evidenced in obedience and reliance on God’s promises (James 2:19).

Faith is not merely an intellectual assent but manifests itself through obedience and trust in God’s promises. The sermon illustrates that true faith results in an acknowledgment of God’s authority in our lives, as seen in the parable where the servants respond according to their understanding of their master. The servant who brought back an increase said, 'Thy pound hath gained ten pounds,' demonstrating that he recognized the resources belonged to the master and acted in faith based on what he had been commanded. This principle is echoed in James 2:19, which states, 'You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!' This signifies that true faith must produce a tangible response towards God, identifying faith's necessity in our relationship with Him.
