How do we know that believers are heirs of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Believers are assured of their heirship through faith in Christ, as indicated in Romans 8:14-16, which states that those who are led by the Spirit are children of God.

In Romans 8:14-16, the apostle Paul affirms that those who are led by the Spirit of God are indeed the children of God, implying that they have the right to call God their Father. The internal witness of the Holy Spirit bears testimony to our identity as God’s children, confirming that we are heirs. This assurance is grounded not in outward signs or rituals but in a personal, genuine faith in Jesus Christ, which itself is a gift from God, allowing believers to rest secure in their inheritance.
