Few expressions have gained wider acceptance in modern Christianity than the claim that we are all God’s children. It is heard in sermons, eulogies, political speeches and ordinary conversation, usually as an affirmation of our common humanity and the equal worth of every person. The sentiment is generous, but its familiarity has largely spared it from examination. The New Testament does not, in fact, speak of the whole human race as the children of God.
Sons of God and children of Satan, By Chinedu Moghalu
