How do we know true conversion is happening?

Answered in 1 source

True conversion is evident when a person shows genuine repentance and a desire for Christ.

True conversion is characterized by a transformative work of the Holy Spirit in an individual’s life. The person not only recognizes their sinfulness but also experiences a profound change where the sin they once loved is now hated. This is not merely about acknowledging sin; it's about a radical shift in desires and affections towards God. As Paul Washer emphasizes, the question isn't just if someone knows they are a sinner, but whether the Holy Spirit is actively working in their heart to produce true repentance and faith. This transformation is evidenced by a new life marked by change, new desires, and a longing for God above all else.
