How do we know we are sons of God?

Answered in 2 sources

We know we are sons of God because we are led by the Spirit who testifies to our identity as His children.

The assurance of being a son of God comes from the inner testimony of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:16 states, 'The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.' This indicates that it is not through our own merit or works that we claim sonship but through the grace of God and the work of the Holy Spirit within us. This confirms that our acceptance as sons is solely based on the righteousness of Christ, not on our efforts or lineage.
