How do we know that salvation changes our character?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that genuine salvation results in a transformed character and conduct as believers walk in the Spirit.

Paul teaches that salvation is not just a declaration of being forgiven, but a transformative experience that changes the life of the believer. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it is affirmed that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and all things have become new. This transformation demonstrates that true faith will lead to a change in conduct. James also stresses that faith without works is dead (James 2:17), indicating that the evidence of true faith will manifest through righteous living. Finally, the believers' lives should reflect the holiness and righteousness of God, showing that salvation indeed influences character and conduct.
