How do we know God loves us as His children?

Answered in 4 sources

We know God loves us as His children through the Spirit who bears witness in our hearts, as described in Romans 8:16.

Romans 8:16 states, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." This divine assurance comes from the Holy Spirit who dwells within believers, affirming our identity as God's children. The perfect love of God, manifest in Christ’s sacrificial death, assures us that we have not received a spirit of fear but a spirit of adoption, where we can cry out to God as our Father. This relationship is one of love, security, and intimacy, as the Spirit continually points us back to the complete acceptance we have in Christ.
