There’s a doctrine around called the Universal Fatherhood of God and the Universal Brotherhood of Man: It says this—that God is the Father of all, and we’re all brothers. That sounds good, that sounds so sweet, but there’s one thing wrong with it. It’s not so. He is the Creator of all of us.
And in the broadest sense, with a stretch of the word, you could call Him the Father, but not in the spiritual sense. Not all people are children of God; only those who are born into His family. Jesus said in John 8:44 when He was speaking to the Pharisees, “You are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do . . .”
In this world, there are some who are children of God and there are some who are sons and daughters of the devil. We don’t become God’s child until we’re born into God’s family. In John 1:12 we read: “But as many as received him [Jesus], to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” Here’s another verse: “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:26). God becomes our Father by conception, therefore, and not by creation.
