Sonship theology

Okay kiddo, so let's talk about sonship theology. This is a way of thinking about how people are related to God.

In this theology, people who believe in God are called sons or daughters of God. This means that God loves them like a parent loves their child, and they have a special connection to God because of this relationship.

This idea comes from the Bible, where Jesus is often referred to as the "Son of God." Christians believe that when they accept Jesus as their savior, they too become children of God.

So basically, sonship theology is the belief that people who follow God are like his children and have a special relationship with him because of that. It's all about feeling loved and connected to God.
