How do we know that God is our Father?

Answered in 6 sources

God is our Father through our union with Christ, who allows us to call Him 'Abba Father' through the Spirit of adoption.

Our relationship with God as our Father is established through our union with Jesus Christ. In Galatians 4:6, we read that God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, making us cry out, 'Abba Father.' This spiritual adoption assures us of our identity as children of God, emphasizing that we are not merely created beings but members of His family. Just as Jesus refers to God as His Father in John 17, we, too, can address God with the same affection as His adopted children, reflecting the profound nature of our reconciliation and acceptance into His family.
