How are Christians made children of God?

Answered in 1 source

Christians become children of God through adoption, redemption, and the work of the Holy Spirit.

According to the sermon, Christians are made children of God through three significant processes: adoption, redemption, and the work of the Holy Spirit. First, through adoption, God the Father chooses individuals in Christ before the foundation of the world, granting them the status of His children. Second, Christians are redeemed by the sacrificial work of Christ, who paid the debt for their sins, liberating them from bondage. Finally, the Spirit gives life to believers, affirming their status as children of God and enabling them to call Him 'Abba, Father.' This multi-faceted process illustrates the depth of God's grace and the assurance of salvation for His people.
