How do we know God knows us?

Understanding that we are known by God is central to our relationship with Him. Galatians 4:9 highlights that knowing God is secondary to being known by Him. This divine knowledge is a relational and spiritual truth that assures believers of their status as children of God. The essence of being known by God comes through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not our knowledge of God that provides comfort but the assurance that He knows us intimately. This knowledge is transformative and assures us that we belong to Him, as expressed in John 10:14, where the Lord declares, 'I know my sheep, and am known of mine.'
