How do we know true faith is real?

Answered in 1 source

True faith is real if it is rooted in a saving relationship with Christ and produces genuine love and obedience.

True faith manifests itself through a humble acknowledgment of one's reliance on Christ and a desire to glorify God. In contrast to false faith, which may speak well of Christ and engage in religious activities, true faith is marked by repentance that aligns with God's way of salvation. It is not merely an intellectual assent or an emotional experience but a deep-seated conviction that changes a person's heart and actions. This transformation leads to a life characterized by love for God and others, as well as a steadfast commitment to God's will and teachings. Therefore, evidence of true faith is observable in the life of a believer, who seeks not just to perform religious duties but to genuinely reflect Christ's love and righteousness in their daily life.
