How can we discern the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts?
Answered in 1 source
We can discern the work of the Holy Spirit through a noticeable change in our affections and an ongoing desire to engage with God's Word.
Discerning the work of the Holy Spirit involves observing changes within ourselves that align with a genuine love for Christ and a desire to follow Him. As stated in the sermon, this change often manifests as a heart that 'burns' for the Scriptures and hopes in Christ. When we truly experience the grace of God, our mundane interactions with the Bible transform into encounters that kindle spiritual fervor and joy. Furthermore, the Spirit's work produces a desire to meditate on the things of God, leading us to sing praises and find joy in our salvation. These are clear indicators of the Holy Spirit's involvement in our lives.
