How do we know that Christ is with us?

The assurance of Christ's presence in the life of a believer comes directly from the promises found in Scripture. Jesus declared in John 14:23 that if anyone loves Him, He will manifest Himself to them. Furthermore, through the Holy Spirit given to believers, we experience His indwelling presence, confirming that we are united with Christ. When we gather as His church, we are reminded of His promise in Matthew 18:20: 'Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.' This infers that Christ Himself, in the Spirit, is actively present in the midst of His people.
