What does the Bible mean by saying we are 'children of God'?

Answered in 1 source

Being called 'children of God' means believers are adopted into God's family through faith in Christ.

The term 'children of God' signifies a profound spiritual relationship established through faith in Jesus Christ, as articulated in 1 John 3:1. This adoption means that believers are not only saved from sin but are also incorporated into God’s family, granted new identities and privileges. As children, they experience the unconditional love and protection of their Heavenly Father, which reassures them of their place in His family. Furthermore, this relationship entails responsibility to reflect His character, love, and righteousness in their lives.
