How do we know that we are heirs of God?

We can be confident in our status as heirs of God through the witness of the Holy Spirit within us, as stated in Romans 8:16, which assures us that we are indeed His children, making us heirs. Additionally, our belief in the promises of scripture strengthens this assurance. Ephesians 1:4-5 tells us that God has chosen us before the foundation of the world to adoption as His children, guaranteeing our inheritance. This adoption and the resulting heirship is rooted in God’s unchanging promise and mercy.
