Are all people God's children? Why or why not?

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
 

 

Yea really

How many people, ourselves included at one point, do not understand the spiritual aspect of Jesus.

If we understand that people can't understand it without the Holy Spirit we learn to talk to them about the things of God in a different way so that we may teach them.

What's the difference between being God's creation and adopted as God's child?

The difference in being God's creation and adopted as a child of God is that those who are adopted by God are saved and will go to heaven. Ephesians 1:5-6 God redeems sinners. Being adopted by God and becoming a part of the family of God is a tremendous blessing. It is a free gift from God. All we need to do is have faith and believe.

What they should be able to understand in the natural (upon conviction by the Holy Spirit) is their sin and their need for a Savior. All the other teaching will be in vain until they come through the door of the Cross.

If we keep that in mind.....it sure takes a load off our shoulders

Thank you for your wise words. 

One man was deformed, when Jesus met him he made him normal, strait up. 

People were so much in their own, because he could not walk without loosing his balance , because he never had walked in his life . 

People were so mean to him, because he could not run, that he decided to go back to his old walk, even though he was okay. 

The same thing with the Spiritual, we are a new creation when we believed, but we still have the old mind, with the attitudes, and appetites , are we going to blame JESUS, for not doing the miracle of erasing the old memories, and habits, and attitudes, and appetites, and loves for sports, and the education. 

The change has already begun, people don't see it, they want a heart transplant, an hands transplant, a leg transplant,  a mind transplant, a memory transplant. 

It does not working that way, everyone must carry his own burden. 

You can not tell by someone's walk in the newest of life, whether he is born into the family of God, by faith in the name of JESUS,

A rough way to put it is you gotta get em lost before you can get em saved.....( by the Holy Spirit)

Get 'em lost? Aren't all people lost in their sins until or unless they come to Christ?

The Gospel is about forgiveness of sins, and sins not held against us, but there is more about it, it is what the people, all the people , including the Jews long for, a Heavenly inheritance. Without the side trip to a holding place. 

And the love of Jesus to fellowship with us through the Holy Spirit, during our earthly journey.

Being a Creation is automatic (everyone born is a Creation) and we are in God's image. 

Being adopted child of God required believing on Jesus Christ as Lord and God (John 6:40, Romans 10:9-10).

I agree. There's no holding place, as you called it. No purgatory. Christ paid it all. Praise the Lord.

Yes, PlanetChee. Your right, they are lost. But they don't know it. By explaining the good news, it's important they know what they are being saved from.  If they don't know they are lost, why would they want/need to be saved? That's where you come in, showing their lost condition (get-em lost), scripture, and then sharing the good news, that they can be saved (get-em saved) through faith in Christ Jesus. 

You are hiding something, 

They are many who are not lost and they don't know it. 

Why would you try to convince them that they are lost, when they are not. 

JESUS CHRIST told them not to trouble his little children.

Could you elaborate a little more on, many who are not lost but don't know it? Thank you.
