How do we know the Holy Spirit comforts us?

Answered in 3 sources

The Holy Spirit comforts us by convicting us of sin and assuring us of Christ's righteousness and our acceptance with God.

Jesus teaches in John 16 that the Holy Spirit, referred to as the Comforter, plays a crucial role in our spiritual lives. The Spirit comforts by first convincing us of our sin, showing us our need for Christ, and pointing us to the righteousness that is ours through faith in Him. This means that when we feel guilt and conviction, it's not merely an act of judgment but a loving reminder of our need for a Savior. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit assures us that judgment has been satisfied through Christ's sacrifice, thereby removing fear and replacing it with peace. This inner assurance is a divine comfort that enables us to endure life's difficulties.
