How Does Someone Become a Child of God?
How Does Someone Become a Child of God?Chapter 4 — Salvation
Lesson 28: How Does Someone Become a Child of God?Whoever repents and believes in Jesus is welcomed into God’s family.
Explanation
No one becomes a child of God just because they are born into a Christian family, go to church, or learn the right answers. The Bible says you must be born again. This new birth is God’s work in the person who believes in Christ.
To become a child of God means to be welcomed into His family by grace. God does not only forgive you; He adopts you.
Bible story
Nicodemus was a teacher in Israel, but Jesus tells him that he needs to be born again. Neither his education nor his religion could make him a son of God. Only the work of the Spirit and faith in the Son bring new life.
Remember
- The truth: Whoever repents and believes in Jesus is welcomed into God’s family.
- You become a child of God through His work and through faith in Jesus.
- Adoption into God’s family is a gift of grace, not a prize for the good.
Galatians 3:26
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
