What does the Bible say about children of god?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that those who receive and trust in Jesus Christ are graciously adopted into God’s family, becoming His beloved children through faith rather than human merit. John 1:12 and Galatians 3:26 proclaim that believers are made God’s children by faith in Christ. This is a profound gift of the Father’s love, as 1 John 3:1 rejoices. Through Christ, God becomes a Father to His people, and they become His sons and daughters, as 2 Corinthians 6:18 says. The Holy Spirit assures believers of this adoption and leads them to cry, “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:14-17).
