What does it mean to be a child of God according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Being a child of God means being spiritually regenerated and living in accordance with His will (Romans 8:14).

According to Romans 8:14, 'For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.' This signifies that true children of God are those who have been born again and possess the indwelling Holy Spirit. Being a child of God involves a personal relationship with Him, characterized by faith, obedience, and love for Christ. This relationship transforms one's nature, aligning the believer's desires and actions with the will of God. Moreover, true children of God exhibit the fruits of the Spirit in their lives, demonstrating the reality of their faith in how they live and worship. In contrast, those who do not embody these characteristics indicate they may not be truly part of God's family.
