The Holy Spirit is central to the process of salvation and the born-again experience. It begins with the conviction of sin, awakening the individual's conscience to recognise their separation from God. This leads to regeneration, a spiritual rebirth described by Jesus as being "born again," marking a transformative change in the individual's nature. Upon this rebirth, the Holy Spirit indwells within believers, signifying a continuous and personal relationship with God. A key aspect is the sealing of the Holy Spirit, guaranteeing the believer's security in Christ and their eternal inheritance. The process of sanctification follows, where the Holy Spirit continually transforms believers to reflect Christ's image, evident through the fruits of the Spirit. Additionally, the Holy Spirit empowers believers for service and ministry by bestowing spiritual gifts, and provides assurance of salvation, reinforcing their confidence as children of God.
