How do we know that Christ's teachings are life-giving?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's words are life-giving as they are spirit, which touches the heart and ignites spiritual transformation (John 6:63).

Jesus declares that His words are spirit and life, meaning they have the power to instill spiritual vitality in believers when applied by the Holy Spirit. The teachings of Christ transcend mere intellectual understanding; they penetrate the heart, provoke thought, and stir the conscience, exerting a profound influence on the believer's life. It is essential for Christians to recognize that true transformation comes from the internal application of Christ’s teachings, rather than external rituals or experiences. The Holy Spirit uses these words to produce genuine spiritual growth and renewal in believers.
