How does God know those who are His?

Answered in 1 source

God knows His people through a relationship of love and union, not just recognition.

In the sermon, it is explained that when Jesus says, 'I never knew you,' it signifies a lack of intimate relationship rather than mere recognition. This 'knowing' implies a union of love. God knows His own in a saving relationship, as seen in John 10:14 where Jesus talks about knowing His sheep. This intimacy is foundational for salvation, showing that it is not merely about being known in a superficial sense but being in a covenant relationship with Christ.
