How do we know we are heirs according to the hope of eternal life?

The assurance of being heirs according to the hope of eternal life is a profound truth anchored in Scripture, particularly in Titus 3:7, which emphasizes that we are made heirs through Christ. This topic is further expounded upon in Romans 8:17, where it affirms that if we are children of God, we are also heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. This means that all spiritual blessings and the inheritance of eternal life are granted to us as a result of our union with Him. Our status as heirs is not based on our achievements but is a gracious gift from God, fostering hope and certainty about our future in Him.
