How do we know we have been turned from darkness to light?

In Acts 26:18, the Apostle Paul describes his commission to open people's eyes and turn them from darkness to light. This transformative experience is marked by a noticeable change in one's desires and actions. When the Holy Spirit opens our eyes, we move from a state of spiritual blindness into a new understanding of God's truth and righteousness. This indicates a shift away from living for self and sin, toward a life that seeks to honor and glorify God. The change is not only internal but also manifest in how we interact with the world around us, displaying the fruits of the Spirit. Therefore, if we can see our sin for what it is and desire to live in light of God's truth, we can be assured that we have experienced this profound transformation.
