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

Answered in 2 sources

Being a child of God means being spiritually reborn through faith in Christ as the result of His redemptive work.

According to John 1:12-13, those who believe in Christ are given the right to become children of God, reflecting a profound spiritual transformation. This new birth signifies a relationship with God that is initiated by His grace, allowing believers to be adopted into His family. In Galatians 3:26, Paul emphasizes that in Christ, believers are all children of God, unified in their faith. Being a child of God entails both privileges, such as access to God's love and guidance, and responsibilities, such as living in obedience to His will. Furthermore, 1 John 3:1 confirms the love the Father has lavished on us, affirming our identity as His children, which positions believers for fellowship with Him and a hope for eternal life.
