How do we know we are heirs of God?

Answered in 6 sources

Believers can be assured they are heirs of God through their faith in Jesus Christ and being born again by the Holy Spirit.

According to Romans 8:17, 'And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ,' indicating that our status as heirs is directly tied to our identity as children of God. This inheritance includes all the blessings that come from being united with Christ, who is our representative and federal head. Our assurance of being heirs is evidenced by our faith and the new life we receive through regeneration, which is a work of God’s grace in our hearts, allowing us to see and acknowledge our need for Him in light of our sinful nature.
