How do we know that the Holy Spirit dwells in believers?
Answered in 1 source
Believers know the Holy Spirit dwells in them through the inner witness that confirms their identity as children of God (Romans 8:16).
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers is confirmed through Scripture, particularly in Romans 8:16, which states, 'The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.' This inner assurance is a profound testimony of our redemption and relationship with God. The Holy Spirit actively works to remind us of our identity in Christ, guiding us into all truth and empowering us to live according to God's will. Therefore, it's not merely an intellectual acknowledgment; it's an experiential reality facilitated by the Spirit's work within us, affirming our status as heirs of salvation.
