How do we know God's grace transforms our hearts?

Answered in 2 sources

God's grace is evident when it changes our affections and produces within us a longing for holiness and true communion with Him.

The transformative power of grace is depicted throughout Scripture, particularly in its ability to change a person's desires. Once a sinner who seeks worldly pleasures, the believer is changed by God's grace to long for the gospel and the things of God. This change is not merely about behavior modification but represents a fundamental shift in affections—a recalibration of the heart towards Christ and His church. As Christians experience this grace, their former desires fade, replaced by a love for God and His people. This transformation is crucial because it leads to a sincere pursuit of holiness and separation from sin.
