How do we know we have passed from death to life?

Answered in 2 sources

Believers know they have passed from death to life by the presence of the Holy Spirit and their love for God.

Assurance of having passed from death unto life is rooted in the experiential evidence that accompanies the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. This transformation manifests through a profound sense of sinfulness, a heartfelt appreciation for Christ’s redemptive work, and an earnest desire for communion with God. These fruits can be seen as unmistakable indicators of God's life actively present within a believer. Thus, every thought that leans toward holiness, every yearning after God, is a demonstration of spiritual resurrection, affirming the soul's transition from moral death into a living relationship with Christ. It's critical for a believer to reflect on these evidences as markers of their salvation.
