What It Means to Become a Child of God

John 1:12 teaches that everyone who believes in and receives Jesus Christ is given the right to become a child of God. This sonship is not about God having a wife. It is about God’s divine life transforming human beings through faith in Christ. Jesus came in human form, died for our sins, rose again, ascended to heaven, and promised to return for those who believe in Him. Through His redemption, divinity meets our humanity, giving believers eternal life and a new identity as God’s children. If you desire to follow Christ, sincerely confess your faith in Him and ask for forgiveness. Those who have done so are encouraged to grow in faith by joining a Bible-believing church and studying God’s word.
