How do we know we are led by the Spirit?

According to Romans 8:14, those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. This leadership is not merely abstract; it manifests through actions as believers habitually put to death the evil deeds prompted by the flesh. The key sign of being led by the Spirit is a genuine desire and effort to resist sin and pursue holiness. Spiritual life is not marked by perfection but by a continual struggle against sin and a reliance on the Spirit to empower this mortification. By understanding and responding to the Spirit’s leading, believers can discern their identity and standing before God.
