We recognize God's work in our lives through the inward conviction of the Holy Spirit and the transformation it brings.
The work of the Holy Spirit is integral to the believer's life; it is the Spirit that quickens our souls and ignites a genuine faith in Jesus Christ. As noted in the sermon, when the Holy Spirit enters a person's heart, it creates a thirst for righteousness and a desire to follow Christ. This is reinforced in John 14-16, where Jesus promises the coming of the Spirit to guide and teach us. Furthermore, as spiritual fruit begins to manifest in our lives, such as love, joy, and peace, it becomes evident that God is at work within us, affirming our relationship with Him.
