How does the Holy Spirit work in the life of a believer?
Answered in 1 source
The Holy Spirit empowers believers, produces spiritual fruit, and assures them of their salvation.
The Holy Spirit is central to the believer's life, acting as a comforter and guide. In John 14:26, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would teach believers and remind them of His teachings. The Spirit not only empowers believers to live righteously but also produces fruit in their lives, which includes love, joy, peace, and goodness (Galatians 5:22-23). Moreover, the Spirit assures us of our status as children of God, helping us to cry out to the Father (Romans 8:15). The ongoing work of the Holy Spirit is essential for spiritual growth and maturity, thus enabling believers to faithfully walk in accordance with God’s will while pointing them continuously to Christ, the author and finisher of their faith.
