How do we know true faith is given by God?

Answered in 1 source

'True faith' is the faith that God gives to the justified, distinguishing it from mere human belief (Romans 3:28).

True faith is a gift from God. According to Romans 3:28, a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the Law. This indicates that true faith, which leads to justification, is not something we conjure up on our own but is bestowed upon us by God. The justified person possesses a unique faith that rejects self-righteousness and wholly trusts in Christ for righteousness. It is this God-given faith that empowers individuals to live out their new identity as justified before God.
