How do we know our experience of faith is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

A genuine experience of faith is marked by a revelation of Christ by the Holy Spirit, leading to true belief and transformation.

The authenticity of one's faith experience can be evaluated through the work of the Holy Spirit in revealing Christ as Savior and regenerating the heart. According to 2 Corinthians 13:5, believers are called to examine themselves to see if they are in the faith, which includes assessing whether their conversion experience aligns with a revelation of the Holy Spirit. This goes beyond mere emotional responses or intellectual assent to include a true knowledge of Christ, as evidenced in 1 John 4:13, where the Spirit bears witness that we are children of God. Therefore, a genuine faith experience involves a transformation that aligns with the Scriptures and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
