I believe once you are a born again Christian you are supposed to do God's work, but God created us all and I believe that makes us all his children. I agree that it does state througout the Bible that we are children of God by our Faith. Galatians 3:26, Romans 9:8, and Ephesians 5:1. I think until we reject God as our Saviour then we are all his children. I like Sojourner 55 analogy about the business. I want to own a lot of stock in HIS company! I believe we should all want to do the Father's work and that is our duty. If we do not carry that out I think we are sinning!

Just to add a comment; All people on the earth are not all children of God. They are born in Adam and after Adam's likeness, so they are children of Adam. Those that have be born again are all children of God. Most do not understand the new birth, it is just what it sounds like, new birth. Your body is not born again or your soul is not born again but your human spirit. God takes your old Adam spirit out that has sinned and replaces it with a new creation human spirit and then places it inside of Jesus who has just entered your body and seals it in there with the Holy Spirit. (Eph.1:13 NASB) He places it into Jesus to protect it from the old sin nature that is in your flesh. The new human spirit never commits any sin again because Jesus saves it each day. Only one sin in the spirit would doom a new believer back to hell. The old Adam spirit was destroyed at your new birth Romans 6:3 by being placed in to the death of Jesus. I hope this might help Christians understand the new birth.

Sons of God, those created originally by God. The angels were called sons of God, Adam was a son of God, Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. Then all born again believers or the chuch are sons and daughters of God because God has created a new human spirit and replaced the old Adam spirit that had sinned. John 1:13 "who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor ot the will of man, but of God". This and only this gives you the right to be called sons of God. John 1:11-13. All man that have commited only one sin are guilty and sentenced to death. The body, soul and spirit is on death row. The sentence was not taken away by Jesus. A quilty person is not repairable or fixable. Jesus takes your old Adam spirit and places it into His own death by spiritual baptism. Romans 6:6. Trust me, your body and soul will face its sentence of death unless the rapture takes place. A born again person is justified in their human spirit. The human spirit has been crucified with Christ. It has faced its sentence of death. This is the reason you have the right to be called sons and daughters of God and this only!

After your spirit is crucified in the death of Jesus (Romans 6:3), God creates a new human spirit to replace the one that has sinned. A new creation made by the hand of God the Father, so I can cry "abba, my Father" only because I am a New Creation that has been placed into Jesus that has just come to take up residence in my body, making it the temple of God. Then I have the right to be called a son or daughter of God. We are sealed in Him at the point of being born again Ephesians 1:13 NASB. Then our spirit will never sin again. 1John 3:9 "no one who is born of God commits sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God". This is speaking of your human spirit. We still sin in soul and body and must bring them under submission and stop sinning or we will suffer in this life. God says to be Holy because He is Holy. Now He would not command you to do something without giving you the power to do it that comes from His indwelling presence.
