How do we know saving faith is true?

Answered in 34 sources

We know saving faith is true because it produces evidence in our lives and aligns with the teachings of Scripture (Romans 10:17).

The truth of saving faith is demonstrated through its results and alignment with Scripture. Romans 10:17 states that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Those who possess saving faith will experience transformation in their lives, as it compels them to seek after Christ and rely on His promises. Moreover, biblical examples, such as the leper and the centurion in Matthew 8, show that true faith acknowledges Christ's ability and sovereignty, leading to acts of trust in His will. Thus, saving faith is evidenced by the believer’s life and is rooted firmly in the Word of God.
