What does it mean to be a son of God?

Answered in 4 sources

Being a son of God means being adopted into His family and receiving all the privileges and responsibilities of that relationship.

In a theological context, being a son of God refers to our status as children through faith in Christ, as described in Galatians 3:26. This sonship includes a close, personal relationship with God, where believers can call Him "Abba, Father" (Galatians 4:6). It signifies a transformative experience where we are no longer viewed as slaves to the law but as beloved children who share in Christ’s inheritance. As sons, we are called to reflect the character of God and live in light of our adoption, which encompasses both rights and responsibilities in His kingdom.
