How do we know that God knows us?

In Galatians 4:9, Paul states, 'But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God.' This highlights the relational aspect of knowing God; it is not merely about our knowledge of Him but His deep, intimate knowledge of us as His chosen people. This dual knowing signifies an intimate relationship, where believers are assured of their status as adopted children of God through faith in Christ. This assurance brings comfort and security, affirming that God has foreknown His people and has designated them as His heirs.
