How do we know we are true Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

True Christians exhibit faith in the doctrine of Christ and rely solely on His righteousness for salvation.

To discern whether one is a true Christian, it is essential to examine one's adherence to the doctrine of Christ, which includes belief in His person and the sufficiency of His sacrifice. According to 2 John 1:9, anyone who does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. Thus, true believers recognize that their righteousness does not come from their own works but is imputed to them through faith in Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross. This assurance is accompanied by a transformed life, motivated by love for God and His truth, reflected in 1 John’s teachings on walking in light and righteousness.
