How do we know we are born of God?

According to 1 John 4:7-8, the evidence of being born of God is the ability to love others. The passage clearly states that 'everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.' This love is not just a feeling but a profound action and commitment that reflects God’s character. When we exhibit love towards others, especially in the context of the Christian community, it affirms our new birth and genuine relationship with God, thus showing that His Spirit is at work within us. This confirms our authentic identity as His children.
