How do we know we are truly in Christ?

Answered in 3 sources

You know you are in Christ by bearing fruit through the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

True believers are in Christ by faith, resulting in a transformational relationship evidenced by the fruit they bear. In John 15:2, it is stated, 'Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.' Bearing fruit is not merely about external works but reflects the inner work of the Holy Spirit, producing qualities like love, joy, and repentance. This fruitfulness signifies a genuine relationship with Christ and serves as evidence of one's salvation, as true believers will show continual evidence of His transformative grace in their lives.
