Answered in 2 sources
The Holy Spirit regenerates believers, empowers them for godly living, and assures them of their salvation.
The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the life of a believer by initiating the process of regeneration, as described in John 3:6, which states that what is born of the Spirit is spirit. This transformation enables a person to respond to the gospel and embrace faith in Christ. Furthermore, the Spirit empowers believers to live according to God's will, guiding them in truth and providing spiritual gifts for the edification of the church (1 Corinthians 12:7). The Spirit also assures believers of their salvation and God's presence in their lives, fulfilling the promise that He will never leave them (Hebrews 13:5). Understanding the Spirit’s work dispels doubt and leads to a deeper relationship with the Lord.
