The words used by the NT to describe believers point to their status and privileges as the adopted children of God.
Gal 4:7-9 See also Jn 8:34-36; Ro 8:15; Phm 16
1Jn 3:1-2 The title “child of God” is thought by some to be distinct from that of “son of God” (see below). “child” is thought to emphasise God’s fatherhood, whilst “son” is thought to emphasise the Christian’s privileges. These terms are however, sometimes used interchangeably. See also Lk 20:36; Ro 8:21; Php 2:15; 1Jn 3:2; 1Jn 5:2
Ro 8:14 See also Ro 9:26; Gal 3:26
Ro 8:17 See also Gal 3:29; Gal 4:7; Tit 3:7; Heb 6:17
Heb 2:11-12 See also Mt 12:48-50; Ro 8:29; Heb 2:17
1Jn 3:14 See also 1Jn 4:19-20; Rev 12:10; Rev 19:10
Eph 2:19 See also Gal 6:10; Heb 3:2-6
