Romans 8:16 KJV The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
The peculiar persistent internal spiritual witness possessed by the born again. Note that the indwelling Holy Spirit is supporting the witness of the new human personal spirit of the born again.
Ephesians 2:8 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
The saved person is not the source of saving faith.
Nominally Christian belief, trust, and works may be the result of saving faith.
But, in many, belief, trust, and works may merely indicate the natural human response to that which is accepted as good.
The persistent, internal, spiritual witness marks the difference.
