The Assurance of Being God's Children

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in affirming believers' identities as children of God. This assurance comes through the Spirit's testimony within, leading individuals to recognize God as their Father. The Spirit achieves this in two significant ways: first, by guiding believers in their struggle against sin, which serves as evidence of their sonship. Secondly, the Spirit fosters a heartfelt response, prompting believers to cry out, 'Abba, Father,' reflecting both reliance and closeness to God.
