How do we know that we are of God?

Answered in 1 source

We can know we are of God through the transformation in our hearts, as seen in 1 John 5:19.

1 John 5:19 states, 'We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.' This assurance comes from a change within us that allows us to understand spiritual truths and recognize the wickedness of the world. When one is born of God, his affections are transformed, leading to a love for God and the brethren and a desire to obey His commandments. Moreover, this knowledge is affirmed by the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, giving believers confidence in their standing before God, independent of their merit, but based on Christ's work.
