What Is The Difference Between Being A Child Of God And A Son Of God? by FaithfulServant(m): 5:06pm On Oct 28, 2017
Could there be difference and/or similarities between being a child of God and a son of God?

1 Peter 2:2 KJV
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Hebrews 5:12 KJV
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Romans 8:14 KJV
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

When you just get born again, you are a baby/babe. At this level you don't need strong meat. By prayer and a continual study/listening of the word (at this stage milk) you grow up to be a child. Strong meat belongs to them that are of full age (Heb 5:14). At the level of childhood you are more experience in the things of the Lord than the baby/babe. By the time you grow up to the level of getting direct messages and revelations from the lord, you are no more a baby/babe or child, but son. At this level you do not need to be fed, but to feed others. A father of 80yrs of age cannot call someone of 30yrs he gave birth to his baby or his child, but his son. Why? Because he is grown up. He has reached the level of taking responsibilities. THIS IS MY OPINION.

That is your opinion but believe me, you're absolutely correct. I even learned much more from this; thank you very much

The difference between childhood and sonship is responsibility Gal 4:1-7. However, it is possible for someone to still be a child when God expects him to be a son. It is possible for a 30 year old christian to be a child and a 2 year old in the faith to be a son. Fervent study of the word and prayer will move a man/woman from childhood to sonship.
