# Children of God
|
||||
|
||||
The words “children of God” are a metaphor. That is, the “children of God” are the people of God (see: Exodus 4:22-23; Romans 8:14; Galatians 3:26). In the same way a father cares for his children, so God loves and cares for his people. God’s people love, obey, and rely on God in the same way children love, obey, and rely on their father.

The words “children of God” are used to talk about the people who believe in God and are at peace with God (see: Exodus 4:22-23; Romans 8:14; Galatians 3:26). In the same way a father cares for his children, so God loves and cares for his people. God’s people love, obey, and rely on God in the same way children love, obey, and rely on their father.
|

|
||||
Sometimes God’s people are called “children of God,” but sometimes they are called “sons of God. This is because the word “sons” in “sons of God” is talking about both males and females.
