How do we know the Holy Spirit is truly guiding us?

The assurance that the Holy Spirit is guiding us is found in 1 Corinthians 12:3, which states that no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables believers to recognize and accept the lordship of Christ in their lives. This capacity to confess and hold fast to the truth of Christ aligns with the teachings of Scripture, indicating that true guidance comes from the Spirit that glorifies Christ. Moreover, as Romans 8:14 asserts, the Spirit leads us as children of God, confirming our identity as His sons and daughters.
