What makes your faith true?
It is verified by reason and manifest with clear evidence.
But how can it be verified with reason when so many religious leaders say reason is the enemy of the faith in God? Like Martin Luther, founder of Protestant Christianity, in the following excerpts from his Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians: "What makes matters worse is that one-half of ourselves, our own reason, stands against us... To turn one's eyes away from Jesus means to turn them to the Law... When the conscience is disturbed, do not seek advice from reason or from the Law, but rest your conscience in the grace of God and in His Word, and proceed as if you had never heard of the Law..."
And when it comes to evidence if one had sufficient evidence to warrant belief in a particular claim, then one wouldn't believe the claim on the basis of faith. In other words you don't need faith if you have evidence.
