THE BIBLE, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD, TELLS US IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:

​

• But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. (John 1:12, NKJV)

• Receiving and Believing are the elements established by the Word of God to truly consider ourselves children of God.

• But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8, NKJV)

• This is the word of faith which we preach: that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:8-10, NKJV)

• But it also tells us that if you have not believed and received Jesus Christ, you find yourself in a state of sin, and as a result of sin, condemnation.

• For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23, NKJV)

• He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (Juan 3:18, NKJV)

• Therefore, if I am not a child of God, I am a slave to sin.

• Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin." (John 8:34, NKJV)

• But through faith in Jesus Christ, you can confidently answer: yes, I am a child of God, and not a slave to sin in condemnation.

• And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

• So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:6-7, NKJV)
