Answered in 1 source
We know the Holy Spirit's work through His conviction of sin, understanding of God's word, and the peace He gives to our hearts.
The work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life is evidenced through various manifestations. According to Acts 19:11 and the teachings of Scripture, when the Holy Spirit abides in a person, there is a profound awareness of sin and an increasing desire for Christ. This conviction often leads to a deeper understanding of the righteousness found in Jesus, affirming one’s need for His atoning sacrifice.
Additionally, the Holy Spirit functions as a source of enlightenment, exposing the truths of God’s Word and helping believers grow in their faith. Each believer may experience the Spirit's comforting presence, providing assurance and hope amid life's trials. The fruit of the Spirit, including love, joy, peace, and comfort, further attests to His active role in transforming lives, confirming one's status as a child of God.
