How do we know that faith in Jesus is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Jesus is effective because it is a gift from God that leads to transformation and healing.

Faith, as revealed in the narrative of the woman with the issue of blood, is not merely mental assent but an effectual call from God that produces real results in a person's life. In Mark 5:27, when the woman heard of Jesus, she acted upon that faith, believing that touching Him would heal her. This illustrates that true faith—one that results from God's grace—brings decisive action and profound change. Rather than self-generated confidence, this faith acknowledges human inability and looks solely to Christ for salvation and healing. The transformative effect of faith is further affirmed in the words of Jesus, emphasizing that her faith made her whole.
