How do we know if someone is a true believer?

Determining if someone is a true believer can often lead to uncertainty. However, rather than nitpicking their confession or qualifications, we should respond to their expression of faith with love and kindness. According to the teachings of Scripture, true believers are identified by their faith in Christ and desire to learn about Him, regardless of their specific articulations. Our approach should favor embracing those who show interest in the Gospel, over withholding affection due to doubts about their faith. Ultimately, it is not our role to judge the state of another’s heart, but rather to extend the love of Christ where it is shown, trusting in God's sovereign grace at work in their lives.
