How do we know we are connected to Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

We know we are connected to Christ through the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, which produces the fruit of the Spirit.

The assurance of being connected to Christ is evidenced by the presence of the Holy Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit works in believers to produce spiritual fruit, such as love, joy, peace, patience, and more (Galatians 5:22-23). This fruit is the outward manifestation of an inward reality that we are indeed connected to the vine, Christ. Jesus also emphasizes in John 15 that a fruitful life is indicative of a true relationship with Him. If a person is not bearing fruit, it may indicate that they are not genuinely abiding in Him, reflecting the importance of this connection for authentic Christian life.
