How do we know the spirit of bondage is true?

Answered in 1 source

The spirit of bondage is confirmed through the work of the Holy Spirit, which brings conviction of sin and our need for Christ.

The truth of the spirit of bondage is evident through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. According to John 16:8-11, the Holy Spirit is sent to reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This convincing of our lost state and dire need for salvation illustrates that no one can come to Christ unless first made aware of their perilous condition. The nature of this bondage is critical; it is meant to awaken our senses to our spiritual needs, compelling us to seek refuge in Christ. Hence, the initial experience of fear and bondage is a vital precursor to true faith and acceptance of God's grace.
