How do we know if we have saving faith?

Answered in 3 sources

You have saving faith if it was a gift from God and if you trust solely in Jesus Christ for your righteousness.

To determine if you possess saving faith, you can reflect on several key questions: First, is your faith a result of your own efforts, or is it a gift from God? If you recognize that your faith is a divine gift, it is likely saving faith. Second, does your faith trust in the same Lord Jesus Christ as described in Scripture? Saving faith aligns with the biblical portrayal of Christ. Third, is Christ precious to you? If you couldn't bear to trade your faith in Him for anything, this reflects saving faith. Finally, does your faith claim any righteousness apart from Christ's? True saving faith acknowledges that our righteousness is entirely based on the Lord’s work.
