How do we know the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation is true?

Answered in 1 source

The work of the Holy Spirit in salvation is affirmed through Scripture, demonstrating that He applies the redemption accomplished by Christ to the elect (Isaiah 44:3).

The Holy Spirit’s role in salvation is crucial as He applies the work of Christ to the hearts of the chosen. In Isaiah 44:3, God promises to pour out His Spirit upon His people, illustrating the transformative work that the Spirit accomplishes. The Spirit regenerates the hearts of believers, making them 'thirsty' for righteousness by granting them spiritual life. Romans 8:9 affirms that anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him, underscoring the necessity of the Spirit for salvation. The Holy Spirit is also a guarantee of our inheritance, sealing believers in Christ. Thus, the evidence of the Spirit’s work is seen in the life of faith and the transformation of the heart.
