How do we know that we are God's free men?

Answered in 1 source

According to John 8:36, if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed, highlighting the freedom believers have in Christ.

Believers are described as 'God's free men' in the context of their salvation and identity in Christ. John 8:36 states, 'If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.' This verse reassures believers that true freedom comes not from the absence of external constraints but from their standing before God. The freedom that Christ offers is liberation from the penalty and dominion of sin, which previously held them in bondage. Being called by God's grace means that even those who appear to have earthly servitude are spiritually free, as they are reconciled to God and no longer enslaved to sin or law. Thus, God's people can live in assurance of their freedom in Christ.
