By John Stenan There are many people who believe we are all the children of God, but that is not true. If you study Romans 5, you will discover that we come into this world as sons and daughters of Adam. We are all born with the sin nature which is passed onto us from our earthly father. Everyone born into this world has this sin nature; there is only one exception, and His name is Jesus Christ. All others born are sons of Adam.
Remember Jesus said to the religious Pharisees, “You are of your father the devil. ”John 8:44.” He said that because they rejected Christ and wanted to kill Him. The only way we can become a child of God is to repent of our sin and receive Jesus into our hearts to be our Lord and Savior. This is done by faith.
Romans 5:1 says,” Therefore, having been justified by faith, (made righteous before God), we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Also, John 1:12 says, “But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” God bless.
