To be a son of God means being adopted into God's family and sharing in the promises of His kingdom (Ephesians 1:5).
Being a son of God signifies a profound relational status where believers are given the rights and privileges of God's children. As stated in Ephesians 1:5, we are adopted into God's family through Jesus Christ, which highlights our new identity and inheritance. This sonship is not based on human effort but solely on God's grace. In Romans 8:14, it further reinforces that those led by the Spirit of God are sons of God, indicating the intimate connection we have with our Father. The implications of this sonship include a secure relationship with God, the assurance of inheritance in His kingdom, and an identity that transforms how we live and interact with the world.
