How do we know we are great in God's kingdom?

Answered in 1 source

We are considered great in God's kingdom when we embrace humility and depend on Christ.

The measure of greatness in the kingdom of God is not about authority or self-advancement; it is tied directly to humility. As stated in Luke 9:48, Jesus teaches that the least among us is the greatest. Greatness in God's kingdom is about serving others, having a child-like faith, and acknowledging our absolute dependence on God's grace. This teaching aligns with Paul's assertion that 'Christ in you is the hope of glory' (Colossians 1:27), indicating that our relationship with Christ is foundational to our identity and position. Thus, the more we recognize our need for Him and the more we serve others selflessly, the greater we become in the eyes of God.
