Do you believe that Jesus paid for all your sins and that he was buried and rose again on the third day, and you believe He did it all for you because He loves you? First Corinthians 15:1-4. When ever you first believed it, you were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise that says I will never leave you or forsake you. Ephesians 1:13

John 6:37-40 Jesus said that all that come to me I will in no wise cast out. And of all that have come to me I have lost nothing. He has never lost one. 
And the will of God is that we trust in the one He has sent, Jesus, and He will raise us up on the last day. You should feel like you just won the lottery. You know you are going to heaven when you die because Jesus paid your way. John 3:18 You have believed and can no longer be condemned. If you had not believed you would have been condemned already.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, (you and me) that He gave His only Son, (Jesus) that whosoever, (you and me) believeth in Him, (trusts that He did it all for us) should no perish, but HAVE everlasting life. 

Truly it does not depend on how we feel or what we understand at the moment but on Gods word. Jesus can not lie. So you know you are going to heaven when you die because you have believed.

First John 5:13 says, we know we have eternal life because we have believed on the Son of God.

I find listening to old Hymns are a real blessing because most of them have so much truth in them. Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. Not my own righteousness. 

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine, oh what a fore taste of joy divine. 

I hope this helps as Jesus has give us so many promises in the bible that we can look to that will reinforce our faith. Just remember, Jesus loved you so much He went to the cross just for you and gave His blood sacrifice a ransom just for you. He loves you that much.

So if you believe that Jesus went through all that He did on the cross just for you, You are saved and have the Holy Spirit in you which is your righteousness before God. It is by faith alone with out works.

Your question: How do I know if I truly believe and the Holy Spirit is in me?

Many struggle with this question. The reason is because many are not taught how they can recognize what the power of God does for them upon receiving salvation. 

The first thing you must understand is the Holy Spirit that the Lord imparts upon you is received upon receiving salvation. 

Upon receiving the Holy Spirit, you receive two very significant gifts. 

The first thing you should look for is whether you have received eternal life. This eternal life is far more than simply living forever; it is the reward you receive through the Holy Spirit.

The true definition of eternal life, as explained by Jesus, is found in John 17 and John 14. In John 17, it states that eternal life is a personal relationship with the Father and the Son. You receive this upon receiving salvation.

John 14, Jesus explains to his disciples the relationship between God and his children. Jesus said, “Those who love me and keep my commands will dwell in me, and I in them. Where you know the Father and the Son, they also know you.” 

I encourage you to come to the understanding of eternal life.

Secondly, with the Holy Spirit, you are given the fruits that replace your old nature, which you had when you were lost; you are a new creation created in Christ.

If you come to know these things, you will realize that you have been saved. You will no longer walk in the flesh but in the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
