For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,

so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
