How do we know that the Holy Spirit teaches us about God?

Answered in 1 source

We know the Holy Spirit teaches us by experiencing and understanding God's truths in our hearts rather than through mere intellectual study (1 Corinthians 2:12).

Understanding the role of the Holy Spirit in teaching us about God is fundamentally rooted in personal experience rather than just academic knowledge. In 1 Corinthians 2:12, Paul explains that we, as believers, have received the Spirit of God to know the things freely given to us by God. This emphasizes that genuine knowledge of God's truths transcends scholarly reading or theological study; it is realized through the Holy Spirit working in our hearts. The Holy Spirit personalizes our understanding of concepts such as faith and forgiveness, revealing their depth and significance as we believe in Christ. Therefore, the certainty of the Holy Spirit’s teaching manifests in the transformation and enlightenment we experience in our faith.
