How do we know that our faith in Christ is genuine?

The assurance of genuine faith hinges on our recognition of our sinfulness and an authentic response to Christ’s call. Like the blind man in John 9, who didn't initially grasp the full identity of Jesus, our salvation is rooted in the acknowledgment of our need for Him. Genuine faith involves a transformation where we move from spiritual blindness to the light of Christ, as He opens our eyes to understand His grace and redemption. As we trust in Him, we begin to hear His voice and follow Him as our shepherd.
