Am I a Bad Parent?

Are We All God's Children?

"We're all God's children." It's a phrase people say all the time. But is it actually what the Bible teaches? In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw explores the difference between being created by God and becoming part of God's family through faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that every person has value, dignity, and worth because they are created in God's image. But Scripture also speaks about becoming a child of God through a personal relationship with Christ. Using John 1:12, Bob discusses God's invitation into His family, why this distinction matters, and how Christians can approach the topic with both truth and grace. If you've ever wondered what it really means to be a child of God, this episode will help you understand one of the most personal promises found in Scripture.
