Children - Christians Are Children of God

1 John 3:1

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

They are children of light:

John 12:36

Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.

Ephesians 5:8

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

1 Thessalonians 5:5

You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

They are beloved children:

Ephesians 5:1

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children

They are obedient children:

1 Peter 1:14

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

They are children of the resurrection:

Luke 20:36

and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.

But some become “disobedient children”:

Ephesians 5:6

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

Colossians 3:6

Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

Those who are such shall become “children of cursing”:

2 Peter 2:14

With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood!
