Filhos de Deus
Ser filho de Deus é o maior privilégio da existência humana. Pela fé em Cristo, recebemos o direito de ser chamados filhos de Deus — herdeiros de Deus e co-herdeiros com Cristo.
O direito de ser filho
A todos que creram no nome de Jesus, deu-lhes o poder de serem feitos filhos de Deus — nascidos não do sangue, mas de Deus.
but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name, who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.

and the number of the sons of Israel has been as the sand of the sea that is not measured nor numbered, and it has come to pass in the place where it is said to them, You [are] not My people, it is said to them, Sons of the Living God;
"You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
Viver como filhos
Vede que grande amor o Pai nos concedeu: que fôssemos chamados filhos de Deus! E é isso que somos.
