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

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture clearly states that without the Holy Spirit, one cannot please God or belong to Christ (Romans 8:8-9).

The necessity of the Holy Spirit for salvation is outlined in Romans 8:8-9, where it emphasizes that those 'who are in the flesh cannot please God.' The Apostle Paul goes on to delineate that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is what marks a true Christian. Without the Spirit, one remains in a state of enmity towards God, unable to fulfill the requirements of the law or achieve spiritual goodness. The Holy Spirit is essential, as it is through His ministry that the sinner is led to acknowledge their need for Christ and receive the gift of salvation.
