What does it mean to be a child of God?

Answered in 21 sources

Being a child of God means being adopted into God's family through faith in Christ, leading to a new identity and relationship with Him.

To be a child of God is a profound and transformative truth for Christians. It signifies that believers are adopted into God's family, which is a result of divine choice and grace, as stated in Ephesians 1:5. This identity is not based on human merit but on faith in Jesus Christ, who grants believers the right to become children of God (John 1:12). This relationship comes with privileges such as access to God as 'Our Father,' where Christians can approach Him with confidence, seeking His guidance, provision, and mercy.
