How do we know Jesus is the object of our faith?

The object of faith in Christianity is not just an abstract concept but the person of Jesus Christ. Paul exemplified this when he said, 'I know whom I have believed' (2 Timothy 1:12). This reflects a personal relationship with Christ, indicating that true faith is not merely intellectual assent but comes from an experiential knowledge of Him. According to Reformed theology, this knowledge is granted by God's grace, allowing believers to experience a transformation where they genuinely know and love Christ. Faith centers on Christ's redemptive work on the cross and His promise of eternal life, which provides assurance and hope for the believer's future.
