How can one know they are in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing you are in Christ involves trusting Him as your sole righteousness and resting in His finished work.

To know if you are in Christ, you must ask yourself whether you trust in Him alone for righteousness before God. The apostle Paul highlights in Philippians 3:9 that being found in Christ means having His righteousness, not our own. This belief is not merely intellectual; it involves a total reliance on Christ and His sacrifice as the basis for our justification. One who is truly in Christ acknowledges their condition of guilt and looks to Him for salvation, realizing that His righteousness is all that God requires. This assurance of being in Christ leads to confidence before God and a boldness on the day of judgment (1 John 4:17).
