Children » Who are the children of God
Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.
The one conquering shall inherit all things; and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me a son.
Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked.
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus? Has not the potter the right of the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? But if God, wishing to show forth his indignation and make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of indignation having been perfected unto destruction: read more.
and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared unto glory? whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles: as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved: and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping. God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all; read more.
and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation; that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you. For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring. Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man.

For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what participation is there to righteousness and unrighteousness? or what fellowship has light unto darkness? What concord of Christ unto Belial? or what part has a faithful man with an infidel? And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. read more.
Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and I will be to you for a Father, and you shall be unto me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

Do all things without murmurings and disputatious; in order that you may be blameless and pure, the children of God, irreproachable, amid a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him. Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he may be made manifest, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
