How does the Holy Spirit assure believers of their adoption?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit assures believers of their adoption by instilling in them the desire to call God 'Father'.

In Galatians 4:6, it is stated that God sends His Spirit into the hearts of believers, enabling them to cry out 'Abba, Father'. This demonstrates the intimate relationship believers now have with God, emphasizing the work of the Holy Spirit in affirming their status as children of God. The Spirit not only seals their adoption but also creates within them a renewed nature and desires, leading them to commune with God as their loving Father. This inner transformation is both a response to, and assurance of, their new identity in Christ.
