How do we know if we are truly born of God?

Answered in 2 sources

We are truly born of God if we exhibit a life that does not practice sin, as indicated by our faith and obedience to Christ.

1 John 3:9 emphasizes that 'whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin,' which suggests that true believers do not continually engage in a life marked by sin. This does not imply that they are sinless, but rather that they are no longer enslaved to sin as a lifestyle. The transformation by the Holy Spirit produces a desire to pursue holiness and righteousness. Furthermore, genuine faith is evidenced by perseverance in faith and commitment to Christ, marking a decisive shift from living for oneself to living in obedience to God.
