What does Romans 9 teach about the children of God?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 9 teaches that not all who are physically descended from Israel are children of God, but only those chosen by God's promise.

The teaching of Romans 9 clearly delineates who the true children of God are. Paul states that being a child of Abraham or a descendant of Israel does not automatically confer spiritual status before God. Instead, it is those who are children of the promise, as God has ordained, who are regarded as His true children. This underscores the notion that spiritual lineage is determined by divine election rather than mere ethnic or physical descent, affirming that true belonging to God's family is based on His sovereign choice rather than human effort or heritage.
