A child is an infant, a young person, usually considered to be between a baby and an adolescent. The nation of Israel is always referred to as 'the children of Israel', which of course they were because they were the descendants of Israel or Jacob (see Luke 1:16, KJV).

All men and women are, in the broadest sense, 'children of God'. God is their creator; they are linked to God through their first parents Adam and Eve. The Jews thought of themselves as having a special relationship with God through their father Abraham, which they shared with no other people (see Luke 3:8; John 8:39-41), but Jesus told them that God would choose whom He would have for His children. Jesus came to teach us that all who were faithful and obedient and loved God were in a very special sense God's children (see John 11:51).

"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." (Romans 8:16-17; see also Matthew 5:9; Romans 8:19-21; 9:6-9; Ephesians 5:1; 1 John 3:10).
