How do we know that God anoints believers?

The anointing of believers is affirmed in 1 John 2:20-27, where it emphasizes that the Holy Spirit acts as the anointing that teaches and reveals truths necessary for salvation. This anointing signifies that God has equipped His children to understand their sinful nature and the redemptive work of Christ. The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit ensures that the believer is not left to human wisdom alone, but is guided into the truth of Jesus as the Son of God, who perfectly obeyed God's law and offered Himself for our sins. This anointing, therefore, becomes a reality in the life of every believer.
