Matthew 25:31-46
[31] “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. [32] Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. [33] And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. [34] Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, [36] I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ [37] Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? [38] And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? [39] And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ [40] And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
[41] “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. [42] For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, [43] I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ [44] Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ [45] Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ [46] And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” -
And this is why I never regret giving people love, even if they are my enemies. We were all made by God, so each of us, being in his image, have a part of him in us. So, by doing these things to his creations, so we do them to him.
But there are two different meanings of the phrase "children of God", and people mix these up to justify repetitive sins.
The first meaning is in the literal sense that God created us. He is our Father and Creator, so we are all his children. This applies to everyone in the world, weather they follow God or not.
The second meaning specifically refers to the spiritual sense of being a follower of God. To beleive in God and do his works makes you a child of God spiritually, which is the part that he looks for in each of us in order for for us to claim our place as his or turn away. When we don't follow him and his examples, it's pretty much rejecting him as a father, as it is to reject a parent's teaching and do your own thing. Then you get so far lost in all the sin that the spirit God gave you from the start has been tainted and he doesn't recognize the behaviors you know exhibit.
People like to say "We're all children of God" to dismiss the fact that we can't just do whatever we want. It also dismisses what he says in his word. Jesus dying on the cross doesn't instantly save us. It gives us a chance to start again and again, but the chance only matters if we make the effort.
I'm done with my rambling. -

I didn't realize there's certain criteria we have to talk about. I enjoy just talking about random weird things...
Maybe I'm not putting enough thought into it... -
Ah. Here's my daily tummy hurty...
I was wondering where you went... -
I'm not much of a jazz composer, but I guess it's good so far...
