What does it mean that we are not on probation as sons of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being not on probation means our sonship is secure in Christ, regardless of our performance.

The concept of not being on probation as sons of God speaks to the assurance of our position in Christ. 1 John 3:2 states, 'Beloved, now are we the sons of God.' This signifies that our acceptance as God's children is not contingent upon our obedience or faithfulness, but upon God's sovereign grace and the finished work of Christ. Our standing as sons is permanent and unchanging; we are not evaluated based on a probationary period. Romans 8:1 declares, 'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' This theological truth provides comfort and assurance that our relationship with God is secured and that His love and acceptance are not conditional upon our performance.
