How do we know we are among the children of God?

To ascertain whether one is a child of God, we must examine the evidences of grace in our lives. 2 Corinthians 13:5 encourages believers to 'examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith.' True conversion results in a change of heart, leading to a desire for holiness and an affinity for God's Word. The presence of the Holy Spirit, who brings conviction and transformation, is a key marker of being born again. It is essential that we actively seek this assurance and confirmation of our faith through prayer and reflection on God’s truth.
