How do we know God's Spirit is in us?

Answered in 1 source

We know God's Spirit is in us because of the love we demonstrate and our conscious awareness of God's work in our lives (1 John 4:13).

The assurance that God's Spirit is within us is rooted in several factors outlined in Scripture. Firstly, our love for others serves as a primary evidence of the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives (1 John 4:13). Secondly, an inherent struggle between our sinful nature and our desire to honor God indicates the work of the Spirit in us (Galatians 5:17). This internal conflict reveals that we are conscious of God’s presence and actively pursuing life in Him. Lastly, the Spirit produces spiritual fruit in our lives, which further confirms His indwelling presence (Galatians 5:22).
