How do we know we have received the Spirit of God?

Answered in 1 source

We know we have received the Spirit of God because it leads us to understanding the things freely given by God (1 Corinthians 2:12).

In 1 Corinthians 2:12, Paul explains that believers have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God. This Spirit enables us to know the things freely given to us by God, which includes wisdom, grace, and salvation through Christ. The presence of the Spirit in our lives is evidenced by our ability to understand and love the truth of God, leading to assurance of our identity as children of God and joint heirs with Christ.
