What does the Bible say about spiritual sonship?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that true spiritual sonship is marked by a genuine love for Christ, not merely by outward affiliations such as church membership.

In the discourse from John 8:37-47, Jesus emphasizes that spiritual sonship involves an authentic relationship with Him. He asserts that if the Jews were truly Abraham's children, they would act like Abraham, which implies following God's will. Similarly, Jesus states that if God were truly their Father, they would love Him. This underscores the importance of an internal transformation and genuine faith over mere external identities or religious rituals.
