What does the Bible say about being children of God?

Answered in 20 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are adopted as children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, meaning they are free from the law's condemnation.

The concept of being children of God is a vital theme in Scripture, particularly in the New Testament. In Galatians 3:26, it states, 'For ye are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.' This adoption signifies that believers are no longer under the law's condemnation but are instead part of God's family, receiving the privileges and responsibilities that come with that relationship. The freedom granted to God's children is not an excuse to disregard moral obligations; rather, it empowers believers to live in a manner that pleases God.
