Children of God

Why?

The Lexham English Bible Chapter 2

29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.

What does begotten mean when used in the Bible?

What is the meaning of "have begotten" (Acts 13:33)? γεγεννηκα (gegenneka), the original Greek word translated "have begotten," is typically understood to mean "having fathered" or "having brought forth from the womb," but it literally means just "having brought forth" or "having caused to arise," and is being used in this literal sense in this passage How do we know we are children of God?

At this time in our lives, the world may not fully recognize us as the children of God, but it will when we are fully glorified with Christ. Nonetheless, our lives should display the fact that we are God’s children now.

Imputed-definition: The term impute is used both legally and financially and means “to designate any action, word, or thing as credited to another person’s account.” Example: Biblically, Adam’s sin was imputed to all his descendants, and they are to be dealt with as guilty.
