How do we know that a Christian is adopted by God?

Answered in 1 source

A Christian is adopted by God through predestination and faith in Jesus Christ.

The concept of adoption is pivotal in understanding what defines a Christian. Ephesians 1:5 teaches that God has predestined believers for adoption as His children through Jesus Christ. This means that God intentionally chose individuals to be a part of His family. Additionally, John 1:12 states, 'But as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.' Faith in Christ is the mechanism through which individuals are acknowledged as God's children, confirming their adoption into His family.
