How do we know the Holy Spirit is actively working in the New Covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The New Covenant manifests the Holy Spirit's active work through the empowerment of believers as witnesses, fulfilling prophecies and spreading the gospel.

The active work of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant is evidenced through the events of Pentecost described in Acts 2. Here, the Spirit is poured out upon the apostles, empowering them to proclaim the wondrous works of God in various languages to people from diverse nations. This event fulfills prophecies from the Old Testament, such as those in Joel, where the Spirit is promised to be poured out on all flesh, enabling all believers to witness and evangelize. The emphasis on being 'witnesses' in Acts 1:8 and the visible manifestations of the Spirit's presence serve to confirm the reality of the New Covenant blessings and the active role of the Spirit in establishing Christ's kingdom on earth.
