"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26 NIV).
Paul is addressing CHRISTIANS in this epistle to the church at Galatia, reminding them that thye are sons of God because of their faith in Jesus Christ. While it can be said that God is the Father of all people in a generalized sense due to having created them (Acts 17:24-26),
ONLY those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ are His true spiritual children, whereas unbelievers are the children of satan (Matthew 13:38; John 8:38, 41, 44; Acts 13:10; 1 John 3:10; and compare with Ephesians 2:3; 1 John 5:19) Whose child are you? Are you a child of God by trusting in Jesus Christ, or are you a child of satan because of your unbelief? There is no middle ground here. You are either a child of one or the other.

"Some bring God's curse on them by marking off part of the Bible, calling it erroneous, uninspired, less than the very Word of God." - Dr. John R. Rice
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
