Bible Question: I have been talikng with my friend my friend says this (and it makes sense) We are all children of God. ME and YOU are children of God and are brothers and sisters of Jesus...We all have a spirit |
Bible Answer: Hello legs, I can understand that what your friend says might "make sense". However, making sense is not necessarily Biblical truth! While we are all created by God, we are certainly not all children of God nor brothers or sisters of Jesus in a relational sense! Not at all. This may be Mormon theology but it's not Biblical theology! Christianity is a relationship with the living God as revealed through scripture (the Bible) and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ! Consider these points: 1. Only those who know Christ are truly His children! John 1:12 tells us, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name," (NASB) 2. Those who do not know Christ are not His and are condemned. John 3:18 clearly states, "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." 3. Salvation is found nowhere else but in the person and work of Jesus Christ. As Goldsworthy notes, "If the biblical story is true, Christ is the only savior for humankind and there is room for no other way to God!" John 14:6 tells us "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
