Kids’ Questions 6: Does God have a family?

Yes, He does. But not in the same way that you and I have a family.
First, the Trinity — God in three persons — includes God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
But there is also the family of God, which is all the followers of Jesus. How do you become part of that family? By receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. Then God adopts you (Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 4:4-7). You’re still part of your earthly family, but now you are in a much larger family too. That’s why we sometimes call other Christians “brother” and “sister.”
It’s a wonderful thing to be in God’s family. These words from a gospel song say it well: “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God.”
