How do we know the Spirit of God rests on us?

Answered in 1 source

The presence of the Spirit of God in a believer is evidenced by their transformation and capacity to endure persecution for Christ's sake.

According to 1 Peter 4:14, believers who are insulted for the name of Christ are blessed because the glorious Spirit of God rests upon them. This Spirit enables believers to live in a way that glorifies God, distinct from their previous manner of life. The evidence of the Spirit's presence is seen in the believer's transformation, leading them to reflect the character of Christ, even in trials. This work of the Spirit involves sanctification, teaching believers to say no to ungodliness and live righteously, aligning with God's will and reflecting His glory.
