Are all people the children of GOD

1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. Some have objected to the studies in resurrection of the past 20 or more years. Most of the objections have come from a holding of vain traditions of men.

Some hold to the theory that all men are the children of God, and that God is Father of all. From this they reason that all men are responsible to God for all they do, seeing that they belong to His family. If the theory be true, then it would naturally follow that all men would have to give an account of their works before God, or face the record, as some say. To do so they would have to have a resurrection of some sort. They would again see life.

But do all men belong to the family of God? If not, then are men responsible to a family in which they have no membership? Is there even a record kept of those who are not members?

Much of this vain philosophy stems from the fleshly notion (or wish?) that there must be a retribution for all who do wrong, especially those who have wronged us. But what good is retribution, either for the victim or for the spectator who hopes to see it?

Another objection is that it would make it too easy for the suicide. That is true that it is easy for the suicide. Some day many will realise this, and so there will be those who will seek death but cannot find it (Rev 6:15; Rev 6:17; Rev 9:6 ).

They will be reserved for the second death which will be their first. Perishing is the hope of the suicide. The unbeliever who ends his own life has forever cut off all hope of receiving everlasting life and the resurrection which follows (John 6:40; John 6:54).

John 3:16 gives us just two ways, and therefore two classes of men today. The one class receives everlasting life by believing and is eventually raised from the dead. The other class does not believe and receive everlasting life and therefore is perishing and finally perishes. Whether wilfully or in ignorance makes no difference. Those that do not have life do perish and never will see life (Job 3:36).

Tradition has robbed us of the glory of the resurrection. It has dimmed the glory of the name of Christ. It has made His grand and glorious resurrection as nothing. Men talk about redemption from sins; but that is for this life only. What they need is the redemption from the claims of death and the grave (hell). This redemption is available, but only on the terms of faith. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Man has invented other ways, but they are useless.

The one who redeems must be a kinsman. Christ is the Kinsman Redeemer set forth in the types of the OT. To be a child of God, one must receive Christ (John 1:12).

The question that we face is how that one who is not of the family of God can claim Christ as a Kinsman.

They cannot claim redemption from there sins because they do not LOVE and Believe in there hearts the Son of God who is the LORD JESUS CHRIST. They will be judged for there sins and they will be lost and sent to hell.?

The Church is at fault, because they do not go by the WORD of GOD, they quote John 3:16 but they do not give the full verse. Let us read this verse and also verse John 3:15, John 3:17-18

John 3:16. "For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

John 3:15. "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:17."For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:18. "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 5:24. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement, but has passed from death into life.

We see that God has made it possible for man to have forgiveness through His Son JESUS CHRIST if you believe in HIM.

So the Word of God quite clearly states that if you do not believe in the Son of God (JESUS CHRIST) you are condemned. That means you will go to Hell when you Die.
