How do we know that believers are adopted into God's family?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are assured of their adoption as children of God through passages like Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:15, which affirm our status as heirs with Christ.

The doctrine of adoption into God's family is a profound truth presented in Scripture. Ephesians 1:5 states that we are predestined for adoption as children through Jesus Christ, according to God's will. This adoption not only grants us the intimate relationship of being His children but also makes us co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:15-17). These passages assure believers of their precious status, highlighting that such adoption was decreed before time began. It signifies a total transformation in our identity—transitioning from being slaves of sin to beloved children, giving us the confidence to approach God calling Him 'Abba, Father.' This understanding holds immense importance for our security and belonging in the family of God.
