What does the Bible say about who are the children of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that the children of God are those born of the promise, not merely of the flesh.

In Romans 9, Paul explicitly states that not all who are descended from Israel are part of God's family. He clarifies that the true children of God are those who are born of the promise, as illustrated in the lives of Isaac and Jacob. These individuals are elected by God and are not determined by their lineage or their deeds. This ensures that God's promise stands firm regardless of human actions, emphasizing that salvation is based on God’s sovereign will and promise.
