What is a counterfeit faith?

Counterfeit faith is characterized by a lack of conviction about one's sin and an absence of true dependence on Christ for salvation. As described in the sermon, those with a counterfeit faith are not broken over their sin, do not hunger for the righteousness of Christ, and believe they have played a role in their own salvation. Genuine faith, on the other hand, is marked by a recognition of our total inability to save ourselves, leading to a heartfelt plea for Christ's redemptive work. True believers demonstrate this by their awareness of their wretchedness and need for God's grace.
