Children of God

We are judged everyday by how we serve the Lord and treat one another!... We are not judged later and given a reward... A crown is the ultimate, not something you wear on your head... We are given eternal life, not by what we've done but what our Lord Jesus The Christ did for us... We belong to him and we are judged daily!... We are called children of God not because of what we did for God but what he did for us... Brother Glen
They maybe lost to us but are they lost to God?... I leave that in the hands of God even to those that are lost... Brother Glen
Matthew 19: 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
John 3: 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
God makes up his own family!
I get it… the issue is, is being a child of God merely a rewards system… or is it a selection process? Again, are we children of God or do we make that choice? I liken it to my relationship with my son… he can disappoint me at times but I still love him…and he knows that. A parents love for there children is forever and provides forgiveness.They maybe lost to us but are they lost to God?... I leave that in the hands of God even to those that are lost... Brother Glen

Do me a favor read Matthew 25, when the Lord separates the sheep from the goats and then tell me what did these sheep ever do for the Lord?... They didn't know the Lord but he knew them and they can only do what they did if they had the love of God in them (agape love)... Did they put the love of God in them selves?... You would never disown your son, but you would correct him because you love him... You bless your son when he does good and if you really love him when he goes the other way, you let him know... He will always be your son, even when he is not under your roof but he is still your child... We are always under Gods roof until we die, we will always be his sons and daughters... He made them Children Of God by what he did for them not what they did for him... God saves his own!... Brother Glen

Btw... You birthed your son and God alone birthed you!
Not quite sure what you are saying here.
Your birthed your son naturally and God birthed you alone spiritually... Brother Glen
Look at post 24 now you understand?

John 1:12-13
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world
Malachi 3:16-18 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not
