It would be more accurate to say that all Christians, regardless of race or class, are children of a loving God. Sons and daughters of God are made, not born. This is a basic Christian datum, and I wish Catholics would stop forgetting it. To become a child of God, one needs to be incorporated into Christ his son.
God is our creator. All of us, including non-Christians, are His Children. Christ did not die upon the Cross only for Christians but for all men. For salvation Christ laid out the path for us. The Church has accepted baptism of blood and of desire.
.”You belong to your father the devil and you willingly carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”
~ John 8:44
We choose our Father, we choose our King.
There is a beautiful video making the rounds on Instagram/Facebook where children are asked what makes them different from their friend. None of the kids say skin colour, race, disability, gender etc…Nate as they say “my friend hates tomatoes and I like tomatoes”….etc… hope the video works on this article.
Yes we are all children of God. It’s up to us to accept God.
