We are all God's Children (Biblical Support)
Genealogy in Luke 3 (only verse 38 is shown)
...the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
Malachi 2:10 (ESV)
Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Here we see that God is the Father of all. It is clear that this is referring to everyone because Malachi expounds on the idea, tying the fact that He created us to his Fatherhood. All of humanity was created by God. Therefore He is the Father of us all.
Additionally, it is clear that he is not speaking to righteous people in this passage but rather to “faithless” people who are “profaning the covenant.” Yet God is our Father (whether righteous or unrighteous) because he is our Creator. It is impossible to intelligently argue that God is only the Father of the righteous from this passage. Rather, He is the Father of all.
Ephesians 4:4-6
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Notice again that God is Father of all. And notice how the Apostle Paul adds that he is “over all and through all and in all.” This is done for emphasis to show the comprehensiveness of God’s dominion as Father. It would be a gross misreading of the text to suggest that God’s role as Father is limited to only a few.
