Why is the concept of being of God significant for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Being of God signifies a deep relationship and origin from God, establishing one as a child of God.

In 1 John 4:4, believers are referred to as 'of God,' which suggests both a relationship with and possession by God. This status not only denotes spiritual origin but also implies that believers are engrafted into the family of God. The term expresses that their identity and security are grounded in their relationship with Christ. Believers derive their power and ability to overcome the world from this relationship, as stated, 'greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.' Understanding this truth reassures Christians of their eternal security and position as God’s children, reinforcing their call to live in accordance with His word.
