How do we know sanctification of the Spirit is true?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctification of the Spirit is validated through the believer's transformative experience and obedience to the gospel.

The reality of the sanctification of the Spirit is evidenced by a believer's regeneration and subsequent obedience to the gospel. In 1 Thessalonians 1:5, Paul emphasizes that the gospel comes not only in word but also in power, indicating that the Holy Spirit actively transforms the hearts of the elect. This transformation leads to genuine faith and repentance, making it clear that those who are truly sanctified by the Spirit will exhibit a life of obedience and faith in Christ. Moreover, the scripture clearly indicates that such sanctification is part of God's eternal plan.
