If it was all up to intellect, I don't think a person could know for sure. However, I think if a person truly walks in faith and holiness, God reveals his truth to us and we can be confident that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. Anybody who knows of sin in his life should also suspect that he is deceived in some areas of his life. On the other hand, when a person has a pure conscience and his eye is single on the Lord, his whole body becomes full of great light. "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." (John 7:17-18 KJV) Peace be with you.
