How do we know the Holy Spirit is real?

Answered in 4 sources

The reality of the Holy Spirit is affirmed through Scripture, personal conviction, and the transformative work He accomplishes in believers' lives.

The reality of the Holy Spirit is underscored throughout Scripture, particularly as seen in passages like John 16:13, where Jesus speaks of the Spirit's role in guiding believers into all truth. Additionally, believers experience His transformative work in their lives, bringing about conviction of sin and pointing them to Christ for salvation. As emphasized in John's epistle, believers are said to have an unction from the Holy One, which speaks to the inner assurance and knowledge that comes through the indwelling Spirit. This experiential knowledge, coupled with the truth of Scripture, assures us of the Holy Spirit's real and active presence in the life of a believer.
