do you know the signs that you're getting closer to God number one whenever you sin or even get the thought of sinning it feels uncomfortable you feel disgusted or better yet after you sin you feel guilty and a deep conviction in your heart this is a sign that God is working in you and that the holy spirit is dwelling in you having guilt after you sin isn't a bad thing God doesn't convict us to shame us he convicts us to lead to repentance so that we can grow closer to him number two you start to
