How do we know God's delight in us is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's delight in His people is rooted in His covenant grace and satisfaction in Christ's work.

The Lord delights in those He has redeemed, seeing them washed and robed in the righteousness of Christ. This delight is not based on their actions but on the satisfaction God finds in the perfect atonement achieved by Jesus. He views them as His children, fulfilling the requirements of perfection through the Son. Therefore, believers can rest assured that they are seen as His delight, not because of their faults, but because of their identity in Christ.
