We are God's children
You are a child of God

God is our Father in Heaven, and we—everyone who has ever lived or will live on this earth—are His children. As the Apostle Paul said, “For we are also his offspring” (Acts 17:28).

As your Father, God loves you and wants you to be happy. He wants you and all of His children to become like Him and to return to live with Him as “heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17). This is His plan for you. It is a plan of great joy.

How do I return to live with God?
We are created in God's image
