What does it mean that believers call God their God?

Answered in 1 source

When believers call God their God, it signifies a restored relationship through the redemptive work of Christ.

In Zechariah 13:9, the promise is made that the people shall call on God's name and He will declare, 'They are my people.' This statement illustrates the intimate relationship that God establishes with those He has redeemed through Christ's sacrifice. This calling implies a recognition of ownership and care; believers acknowledge their dependence on God and His covenant faithfulness. This relationship is further affirmed in the gospel, where the Spirit witnesses with our spirits that we are indeed children of God (Romans 8:16), urging us to cry out, 'Abba, Father.' It highlights the transforming power of the gospel, where in times of trouble, believers trust in God's promises and steadfast love.
