What does it mean to be made a child of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being made a child of God means receiving new life through faith in Christ, as a result of God's sovereign grace.

John 1:12-13 clarifies that those who receive Christ are given the power to become children of God, signifying a complete transformation of identity and status initiated by God's grace. This new birth is not a result of human effort or descent but comes solely from God’s will and action. In the context of Ezekiel’s vision, the resurrection of the dry bones illustrates this profound work of God—bringing to life those who were spiritually dead. Thus, becoming a child of God encapsulates the mystery of how the Son of God takes on humanity, allowing fallen men to be adopted into God's family through sovereign grace.
