How do we know that believers are children of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Believers are children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, as they are born of God and not of the flesh.

According to John 1:11-13, believers are not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. This means that being a child of God is not dependent on physical ancestry or human decision, but solely on God's sovereign grace in giving spiritual birth. In Galatians 3:26, Paul writes, 'For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.' This underscores the identity of believers as spiritual offspring of Abraham, rooted in their faith in Christ rather than any ethnic or familial connection. Thus, true believers, regardless of their background, are united in their identity as children of God.
