WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH!
Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peace-makers*: for they shall be called the children of God.
*[Note: This refers to those who make peace with God. See Romans 5:1-2 - Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by faith into this grace (unmerited favor) wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.]
Luke 20:34-36 - And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: but those who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
John 11:49-52 - And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, You know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; and not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
Romans 8:14-17 - For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ....
Galatians 3:22-26 - But the Scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the Law was our school-master to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a school-master. For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
1 John 3:1-2, 10 - Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it does 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 - - - In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
EVERYONE BORN IS BORN OF THE FLESH;
EVERYONE BORN AGAIN IS BORN OF GOD!
MARVEL NOT THAT YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN;
THOSE WHO ARE BORN OF THE SPIRIT ARE
THE CHILDREN OF ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF!
