To all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right
to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting
from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. (John 1:12-13,
NLT)
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of
God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead,
you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call
him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are
God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact,
together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his
glory, we must also share his suffering. (Romans 8:14-17, NLT)
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ
Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ,
like putting on new clothes. (Galatians 3:26-27, NLT)
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his
children, and that is what we are! (1 John 3:1, NLT)
We are children of God through faith. This is accomplished through Jesus Christ and
is a result of God’s great love. We have
received the Spirit of “sonship”, who brought about our adoption. We are legally, practically and wholly God’s
children. This is by His will not our
own.
