What role does the Holy Spirit play in true Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit empowers believers, producing fruits that evidence His work in their lives.

The Holy Spirit is central to true Christianity, responsible for regeneration, sanctification, and empowerment of believers. Not every person who professes to be a Christian has the Holy Spirit; rather, true evidence of His presence is seen through the fruits of the Spirit manifested in one's life. Christians are called to be born of the Spirit, live led by Him, and pursue holiness and love, as these are the marks of genuine faith. A close relationship with God is cultivated through obedience to His commandments and a life reflective of Christ-like character, which is only possible through the work of the Holy Spirit.
