Isn’t Everyone a Child of God ?

If God made us, does that mean we are all Children of God?

In John 8:24 Jesus said that: “Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” 
In Luke 13:1-5 He said that: “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” 
In Matt. 18:3  He said that: “Unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.”   And in John 6:37 Jesus made a distinction  -- between the Children of God  and the children of darkness -- when He said:  

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out 

The apostle John carried it further by saying that “the one who practices righteousness is righteous… the one who practices sin is of the devil…  By this the children of the God and the children of the devil are obvious.  He also said that “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren…”   I John 3:7-15

We are also told to test what people tell us to see if it is true, for “… many false prophets have gone out into the world.  By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist...  They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.  We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us.  By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”  I John 4:1-6

“Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."  Jesus Christ     Matt. 7:21

If God and Jesus made the Earth -- and us -- do you suppose they have the right to  rule over their  Creation?    If so, are you living for yourself or your Creator? 
Have you invited Jesus into your life?      If not, why not today?    2 Cor. 6:1-2

 “For Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”    Rom. 10:13.
