The angels are those who directly inherit the word of God (John 10:35). Of
this fatherhood is particular or general. Is God the Father of certain people or the Father of the whole world? Are only a part of the world God's sons, or are all His sons? We need to answer these questions very carefully because if everyone is a son of God, as some have preached, then the relationship of all people with God is the same; there is no distinction among them. Since all people are created by God, it follows that all are born of God. We should therefore love one another, for we all came from one loving Father, and someday we will all go to the same place. If one is saved, then all are saved. There is really no difference. There is no judgment because God is our Father, and there is no hell because God is a loving Father. There is no Savior because we have no need of Him! On the other hand, if not everyone is a son of God, then we have to seek to know how we can become children of God, so that we will not be punished by God later. First we will look at:
FOUR KINDS OF SONSHIP WHICH THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE The Bible has shown us four aspects of sonship in which the people of the world have no part. Just by looking at these four aspects of the doctrine of sonship, we can see that the people of the world are different and that not all people are sons of God. 1. Our Lord Jesus Christ Is the Son of God His being the Son of God is very special and unique; He has something different from the other sons of God. This is why the Bible says, "the only begotten Son" (John 1:18). He is so holy, pure, and special that no one but He can be called the only begotten Son of God. Here the phrase "only begotten" excludes all other people of the world. 2. The Angels Are Also Called the Sons of God (Job 38:7; Gen. 6:2-4) The angels are those who directly inherit the word of God (John 10:35). Of course, it is evident that we are not angels. Obviously, we have no part in this aspect of sonship. 3. The Israelites The Israelites are also called the sons of God. Moses said to the children of Israel, "You are the children of Jehovah your God" (Deut. 14:1). Since we are not Israelites, we cannot claim to be children of God in this position. The first time in the Bible that God is referred to as the Father is in Exodus. When God sent Moses to deliver the Israelites, He said, "And thou shalt say unto
