How do we know that being saved changes how we should live?

The transformation that occurs in salvation is profound and directly influences how believers are meant to live. Ephesians 2:10 states that we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand for us to walk in. This means that genuine salvation results in a change of heart and a new nature that desires to live righteously. If someone claims to have been saved but continues to live in sin without any desire for change, it raises questions about their transformation. The evidence of a changed life, marked by the absence of habitual sin and the presence of good works, validates one's faith and relationship with Christ.
