Aries: We became Hashem’s children upon becoming Hashem’s chosen people. This is a posuk in Chumash as popa correctly quoted. Of course Hashem has a plan and purpose for all other nations of the world which He created, [as I tried explaining in my above post that there is definitely given sechar v’oinesh in the world to come for the deeds of all humans in this world], however, this doesn’t translate into being children of Hashem. As an aside, if we c”v sin to Hashem, we may also be considered Avadim/slaves and not Banim/children, as we recite in the davening of yomim nora’im “Im K’Banim..Im K’Avadim”.
