We know God-given faith is true because it results in genuine belief and justifying faith, which the Scriptures affirm.
The authenticity of God-given faith is evidenced in its fruit: true belief in Christ and His redemptive work. The Apostle Paul writes in Galatians 3 that faith is the instrument through which believers are justified and blessed with Abraham. Faith is not merely a mental assent but is a profound conviction bestowed by God that leads to a life transformed. This echoes the principle of TULIP, where the irrefutable evidence of God's grace is manifested through the transformed lives of those who believe. As believers rejoice in their salvation and trust in Jesus Christ, it confirms that their faith is genuine and rooted in God’s sovereign will.
