What evidence shows that someone is genuinely saved?

Answered in 1 source

Genuine salvation manifests in a true confession of faith in Christ and a life that reflects His love and righteousness.

The evidence of genuine salvation is primarily seen in a person's confession of faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, accompanied by a transformed life. In John 5, Jesus emphasizes that if one truly believes the Word of God, it will show in their response to Him. A true believer will acknowledge that Christ is their righteousness, and this confession will naturally lead to the fruit of the Spirit in their lives—love, kindness, and a desire to obey God. This aligns with James 2:17, which teaches that faith without works is dead. Therefore, a continual manifestation of one's faith in both belief and practice is essential for confirming one's genuine relationship with God.
