How do we know that Lydia's conversion was genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Lydia's conversion is marked by her response to the gospel and her actions following her belief, such as baptism and hospitality.

Lydia's conversion showcases a deep and genuine transformation that accompanies the grace of God. After hearing Paul preach, her heart was opened by the Lord, enabling her to believe in the gospel. This transformation is confirmed by her immediate actions; she was baptized along with her household, demonstrating her faith and commitment to the teachings of Christ. Additionally, her desire to host Paul and his companions reflects the grace that transforms a believer’s heart toward hospitality and service to others. True conversion is not merely an emotional experience but a change evidenced by faith and works that glorify God. Lydia exemplifies this, showing that the Lord's work in the heart results in visible fruit.
