How do we know faith is the evidence of our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the evidence of salvation because it is the only assurance we have of our standing before God.

Faith is affirmed as the substantial evidence of our salvation in several passages, particularly in Hebrews 11. The natural man finds faith insufficient, yet for the spiritual man, it is all he possesses. This reliance on faith indicates a transfer from self-dependence to Christ-dependence, showcasing that true faith acknowledges one's sinfulness and need for a Savior. Moreover, Paul indicates in Philippians 1:29 that faith is given for Christ's sake, establishing that our belief is rooted in God’s sovereign grace rather than our works or efforts.
