There is a sense that God is the father of all the creation, (Deut. 32:6 Mal. 2:10) because he created all of us (II Cor. 8:6) therefore, in a sense God is the father of all, even of the wicked; That is why he said, it is not his will for any soul to perish (II Peter 3:9)
In John 1:12, we see a new kind of relationship, no more by creation, but by regeneration. Many do not know what it takes to become a child of God.
Some think they can become children of God by just going to church, being baptized, keeping the commandment, performing the religious duties, doing good works, going to confession or good morals.
These are all good and acceptable by God. But these alone cannot make you a child of God.
In 1 John 3:8, 9, 10, the Bible declares that whoever commits sin is a child of the devil, whether he is in the church, outside the church, baptized, taking communion, whether you are a preacher, founder or a member. The Bible declares that he is a child of the devil.
But when that person receives Christ as his/her personal Lord and savior, Christ will adopt him/her into the family of God as a child of God. (Rom. 8:14, 15, 16; Gal. 4:5, 6)
You can read this interesting tract lines: How Long Will You Remain Unclean?
Beloved, whose child are you? You can accept Jesus Christ now and become a child of God. You can do this by confessing your sins to Christ, forsaking and asking him to come into your life and rule your life. May God bless you as you do that in Jesus name, Amen.
