How do we know that the Holy Spirit is working in our lives?

The assurance of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives can be recognized through the profound transformations we experience. Biblical conviction of sin, a heartfelt love for Christ, and an ongoing desire for holiness serve as evidence of the Spirit's presence. As believers confront their sinfulness, they should not equate this struggle with the absence of the Spirit; rather, it shows the Spirit's active role in revealing their need for grace. Additionally, moments of joy, conviction, and love towards God affirm the Spirit's indwelling work within us, guiding us through our spiritual journey and confirming our adoption as God’s children.
