Children of God

+ Accounting to God’s Promise

Romans 9:8

In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,  but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.

Galatians 3:29

If you belong to Christ,  then you are Abraham’s seed,  and heirs  according to the promise

+ By Grace

Galatians 3:17

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Galatians 3:26

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Romans 4:16-17

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,   (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

+ Through Christ Jesus

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Galatians 4:4

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Ephesians 1:5-6

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,   To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

+ Likeness to God

Matthew 5:44

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Ephesians 5:1

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

1 John 3:2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
