So how can I know I am born again?
The first thing is that it's not a matter of feelings. Instead, it has to do with relying upon the promises of God.
And if you are relying upon your works in order to be accepted by God and forgiven of your sins, then you are not yet born again.
"All who rely on observing the law are under a curse." (Galatians 3:10)
No one gets born again by relying on the law.
The only way to be born again is to rely on the cross. That is, to accept the payment Jesus made on your behalf. It is the only way to be saved, forgiven, and born again. All three of those things happen the moment a person enters God's family by receiving the gift of eternal life through faith.
So have you received Christ as your Savior? Are you born again? If so, then be assured that Christ will never leave you or forsake you, and know that heaven is your eternal home.
In fact, God gave you a deposit guaranteeing He will give you everything He has promised.
"Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance." (Eph. 1:13,14)
It is a certainty for believers.
"God has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." (2 Cor. 5:5)
Once the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you through faith, your "reservation" in paradise is secure. And a guarantee from God is rock solid because the Lord never fails to deliver on any of His promises.
He who begun a good work will finish it
Simply trust Christ today to forgive your sins and save your soul. And then stand on God's promises. It's the only way to be saved, and the only way to know you have been born again.
