What are the signs of the Holy Spirit's presence?

The Holy Spirit's presence can be discerned in multiple ways, as described in Scripture. First and foremost, the Holy Spirit regenerates believers, granting them new life and the ability to comprehend spiritual truths (John 3:5-8). Furthermore, at Pentecost, as outlined in Acts 2, the coming of the Holy Spirit was accompanied by extraordinary signs, such as speaking in different languages, demonstrating His power and the onset of the church’s mission to the world. Additionally, the Holy Spirit empowers Christians to bear witness to the resurrection of Christ and bestows spiritual gifts for building up the church (1 Corinthians 12). These manifestations of the Holy Spirit affirm His active work in and through believers.
