How do we know the promise of the Holy Spirit is true?
Answered in 1 source
The promise of the Holy Spirit is seen as fulfilled in the lives of believers who trust in Christ and receive His grace.
The truth of the promise of the Holy Spirit is grounded in the New Testament, particularly in Acts 2:38-39, where Peter assures that the promise is for all who believe. Following faith in Jesus Christ, believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit, as explained in Ephesians 1:13-14. This sealing is a token of our inheritance, ensuring that we are never alone in our Christian walk. The Holy Spirit's work in the life of the believer manifests in various ways, including conviction of sin, comfort, guidance, and empowerment for service. Therefore, the experiential evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in the lives of Christians serves as confirmation of this promise.
