How does the Holy Spirit bear witness to us?

The sermon emphasizes that the Holy Spirit bears witness through the Scriptures, acknowledging that He is the author of the Word. The Holy Spirit applies the truths of the Bible to the hearts of believers, affirming their status as children of God. When the Spirit witnesses to us, He confirms the work of Christ and assures those who are sanctified that their sins are forgiven and forgotten. This witnessing is an essential part of the believer's life, as it produces assurance in their faith and points them towards the promises of God’s covenant.
