Everyone Is Created By God, But All Aren’t Children Of God

“But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name–”. By believing in Jesus’ name we are given the right to become children of God. We must receive and welcome Him before being in the family of God. You may have heard it said, we are all children of God. Not true, the devil’s children are not children of God, and if you haven’t received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, then it is impossible to be a child of God. Everything having to do with the Lord is of faith, dealing with the unseen but still trusting God’s control. Everything in life that is dependent upon our five senses (our emotions) is Satan’s territory of expertise. Without faith there’s no connection to God, because you can’t see Him with your eyes. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the true sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:14). So if we live according to the flesh, our senses and emotions, we will die; but if by the Spirit, we will live a victorious life as children of God (Romans 8:13).
