How do we know that true religion is from God?

Answered in 1 source

True religion is from God because it is derived from the gospel of free and sovereign grace.

James emphasizes that pure religion must be 'from above' (James 1:17), asserting that any genuine connection to God cannot stem from human efforts. Instead, true religion is birthed by the sovereign grace of God through regeneration and the engrafted Word (James 1:21). This divine origin is essential, as it underscores that our relationship with God is not achieved by our works but granted through faith in Christ, who is the ultimate mediator of our faith and the source of our purity.
