How do we know if we are truly converted?

To discern whether we are truly converted, we should examine our lives for signs of genuine transformation. True conversion is marked by a reduced reliance on our own works and an increased dependence on God's grace. As George Whitefield teaches, a converted person will exhibit childlike qualities such as humility, awareness of their weaknesses, and a desire to grow in faith and love. The apostle Paul articulates that those who are led by the Spirit of God are truly the children of God (Romans 8:14). This means that if we find ourselves increasingly dissatisfied with our previous sinful ways and are actively seeking God through prayer and His Word, we can have confidence that a significant change has indeed occurred in our hearts.
