How do we know that we are living by the Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are living by the Spirit when our lives exhibit the fruit of the Spirit and we depend on Him for all aspects of our walk.

Living by the Spirit is evidenced through the fruit that is produced in our lives, which Paul outlines in Galatians 5. When we are spiritually minded, we will naturally express love, joy, peace, and other attributes of the Spirit. This lifestyle reflects a deep dependence on the Holy Spirit, signifying that we are not only justified but also sanctified through Him. Moreover, maintaining a spiritual mindset and turning our hearts and minds to God regularly—such as through prayer and scripture reading—reinforces our connection to the Spirit and allows us to walk in accordance with His will.
