How do we know conversion is true?

Answered in 7 sources

Conversion is evidenced by a profound change in heart and behavior, aligning one's life more closely with Christ and His teachings.

The truth of conversion can be discerned through observable changes in a person's life. In Matthew 18:3, Jesus speaks of becoming like a little child, emphasizing reliance on Him and a shift from self-sufficiency to complete dependence on God. This transformation will naturally manifest in increased awareness and acknowledgment of one’s own sinfulness, as seen in David’s confession in Psalm 51. Additionally, the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life will cultivate a heart that seeks God continually, producing spiritual fruit that affirms the reality of their conversion. The process and progress of conversion are described as ongoing, with believers being encouraged to engage in continual growth and repentance.
