How do we know the spirit of God is at work in our preaching?

Answered in 1 source

We know the spirit of God is at work when our preaching aligns with Scripture and focuses on Christ's work.

The demonstration of the Spirit of God in preaching is evident when the message is rooted in the Word of God, emphasizing the work of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, Paul states that his preaching was not based on human wisdom but on the demonstration of the Spirit and power. He highlights that true preaching convinces listeners of the truths of the gospel—sin, righteousness, and judgment. Thus, when preaching exposes sin and points to the righteousness of Christ while assuring believers of their justification, it is an indication of the Spirit's active work. Therefore, a preacher's fidelity to Scripture and Christ-centric message signifies the Spirit's effectiveness.
