ARE WE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN? by steve finnell
Are Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, atheists, and all other men, God's children? No, they are not. They are all created by God, but they are not all God's children. God loves them all, but they are not all God's children.
Who are God's children? Christians are God's children.
Galatians 3:26-27 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (KJV)
Men become children of God by faith in Christ Jesus and being baptized into Him.
John 11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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;(KJV)
The Jews who rejected Jesus as the Christ were not God's children. Those who believe in Jesus have the opportunity to become God's children.
GOD LOVES ALL MEN, HOWEVER, SALVATION IS CONDITIONAL.
Terms to become the children of God.
A. Faith: John 3:16
B. Repentance: Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19

Terms to become the children of God: Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. There are no other terms. There are no other steps. We accept Him in faith that He alone is able to justify us. We confess our sins to Him knowing He is able and willing to forgive. We are baptized in the Holy Spirit upon acceptance of Him. Water baptism is merely an outwards showing of true internal belief. It is not necessary for salvation. Those God calls, He justifies. Those He justifies, he sanctifies. Always. Our works are simply a show of our faith. But no work, no act of our own could ever save. It's all Jesus.
