Faith is rooted in the Scriptures and the person of Jesus Christ, confirmed through the experience of believers and the transformative power of the Gospel.
We can ascertain the truth of faith through its foundation in the Word of God, which reveals Christ as the source of all salvation. The measure of true faith is not merely an intellectual assent but a relational trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Romans 10:17 states that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, indicating that faith is not subjective but objectively grounded in divine revelation. Furthermore, the transformative nature of faith is evident in the lives of believers who experience a newness of life and a hope that is beyond their circumstances, affirming the Gospel's power to save.
