What does the Bible teach about being children of God?

Answered in 1 source

Not all who are physically descendants of Abraham are true children of God; spiritual rebirth is essential.

Romans 9:6-8 illustrates that being part of Abraham's lineage does not guarantee being a child of God. Rather, it is those who are called by God's promise that are considered His true children. This notion aligns with the biblical teaching of the necessity of spiritual rebirth, which Jesus discusses in John 3 when he speaks of the need for 'birth from above.' Becoming a true child of God is based on God's grace and not merely on heritage or external identity.
