How do we know that the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit gives new life to believers and enables them to see and enter the kingdom of God, as emphasized by Jesus in John 3.

The necessity of the Holy Spirit in the process of salvation is clearly laid out in Scripture. Jesus stated in John 3:5, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' This means that the Holy Spirit is instrumental in both the regeneration of the soul and the revelation of Christ. The Spirit gives life to dead sinners and reveals the Son of God, making it essential for anyone to truly understand and accept their salvation through Christ. Without this divine work in the heart of a believer, true faith and conversion are impossible, as the Spirit alone can regenerate a heart and lead it to repentance and faith.
