In this episode of the Real Truth Matters Podcast, Michael Durham tackles one of the most vital yet overlooked truths of the Christian life: the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Romans 8, Durham shows that true assurance of salvation doesn’t rest merely on outward tests or someone else’s opinion but on the Spirit Himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Paul lists six evidences of genuine conversion, but it is this seventh—Heaven’s own testimony in the soul—that gives believers unshakable confidence in their standing with Christ.

Why do so many Christians live with doubt, relying only on human reasoning or external signs? Why do even faithful pastors often miss this Spirit-given assurance? In this episode, Durham contrasts common, well-meaning counsel with the Apostle Paul’s teaching that every believer should experience the Spirit’s confirming voice. If you have ever wrestled with your salvation—or if you want to understand the deepest, most personal ministry of the Holy Spirit—you won’t want to miss this episode.
