From Thematic Bible
Children » Who are the children of God
He that overcomes, shall inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

No, but rather, O man, who are you that dispute with God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed, it, Why have you made me thus? Has not the potter power over the clay, to make from the same mass one vessel for honor, and another for dishonor? What, then, if God, intending to show his wrath, and to make his power known, yet, in much long-suffering bore with the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction: read more.
and, that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he before prepared for glory, showed mercy to us, whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, but also from the Gentiles? As he says also in Hosea: I will call that my people which is not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that, in the place where it was said to them: You are not my people, there shall they be called the sons of the living God.
For as I was passing through, and looking attentively at the objects of your worship, I dis covered also an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him I make known to you. God, who made the world, and all things that are in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; nor is he ministered to by the hands of men, as if he needed any thing: for he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things: read more.
and he has made from one blood every nation of men, that they might dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed times, and the bounds of their dwelling: that they might seek for God, if perhaps they would feel after him, and find him, although, indeed, he is not far from every one of us. For in him we live, and move, and have our being: as also some of your own poets have said: For we his offspring are. Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhood is like gold, or silver, or stone, sculptured by art and the device of man.
