How do we know we are heirs of God?

The concept of being heirs of God is richly embedded in the New Testament. Romans 8:17 states that if we are children of God, we are also heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. This inheritance is not merely a future promise but a present reality established through our adoption into God's family. Galatians 4:7 reinforces this, revealing that we are no longer servants but sons, and if sons, also heirs through Christ. This identification as heirs assures us of our place in God's redemptive plan and the blessings that come with it.
