WHO are CHILDREN of GOD?

 

2 Timothy 3:14-15

King James Version

14 But continue thou in the things 

which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, 

knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, 

which are able to make thee wise unto salvation 

through faith which is in Christ Jesus.


Are you a child of God?

Who are children of God?

What does it take to be a child of God?

What does Scripture say?

Find comfort, and clarity, in these verses the Holy Spirit of God led me to.

Galatians 3:26

King James Version

26 For ye are all the children of God 

by faith in Christ Jesus.


Romans 8:14-19

King James Version

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, 

they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; 

but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, 

Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, 

that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, 

then heirs; 

heirs of God, 

and joint-heirs with Christ;

if so be that we suffer with him, 

that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time 

are not worthy to be compared with the glory 

which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature 

waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.


1 John 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold, 

what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.


1 John 3:2

King James Version

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.


Matthew 5:9

King James Version

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: 

for they shall be called the children of God.


John 1:12

King James Version

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:


Proverbs 3:12

King James Version

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; 

even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.


Hebrews 12:9-11

King James Version

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, 

and we gave them reverence: 

shall we not much rather be in subjection 

unto the Father of spirits, 

and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; 

but he for our profit, 

that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, 

but grievous: 

nevertheless afterward it yieldeth 

the peaceable fruit of righteousness 

unto them which are exercised thereby.


Galatians 4:7

King James Version

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, 

but a son; 

and if a son, 

then an heir of God through Christ.


Mark 5:34

King James Version

34 And he said unto her, 

Daughter, 

thy faith hath made thee whole

go in peace, 

and be whole of thy plague.
