One of the big questions religion tries to answer is the question of what happens after you die. The Christian hope is that we will be resurrected to live in the presence of God forever in heaven. But how do we know we are going to make it? When people answer that question for themselves, they often point to an event in their past, like a baptism, a prayer they prayed, or some other experience. But the Bible tells us that we know we are in Christ by one test: do you have the Holy Spirit or not? And to answer that question, we don't look back to the past but at our own lives and own hearts today. And when we examine Scripture to understand how to recognize the Holy Spirit in our lives, we find that those who are living in disobedience cannot know for certain that they are saved.
