How do we know if God is our Father?

Answered in 1 source

We can know God is our Father if we love Jesus Christ and believe in His name.

According to John 8:42, Jesus states that the evidence of God being our Father lies in our love for Him: 'If God were your Father, you would love me.' Therefore, a genuine love for Christ is the defining characteristic of being a child of God. Furthermore, John 14:6 affirms that no one can come to the Father except through Jesus, suggesting that faith and love for Christ are essential. The Holy Spirit also plays a role in confirming this relationship, as Romans 8 speaks of receiving the spirit of adoption, enabling believers to cry out, 'Abba, Father.' Thus, an enduring relationship with Jesus manifests the assurance of God's fatherhood.
