How do we know the Holy Spirit dwells in us?

Answered in 4 sources

We know the Holy Spirit dwells in us through the conviction of sin, the desire for righteousness, and the sense of God's abiding presence.

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a believer is evidenced by a transformation in their heart and life. Romans 8:9 states that anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. When the Holy Spirit takes residence in a believer, He initiates a new desire for holiness, manifests the fruit of the Spirit, and creates an appetite for the things of God. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit helps believers understand and apply God's promises to their lives, leading to a greater assurance of their salvation. This work is not merely intellectual; it is an experiential reality that manifests in a deep sense of conviction, repentance, and trust in Christ.
