Most people would like to know the above-named question but there is a process to becoming God's Children.
God is love. You cannot love God if you don't love others and Matthew 5:44-45 buttressed this point:
NIV:
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
For us to be worthy of being called a child of God, we must be our enemy, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us and pray for those who persecute us because that is what Jesus modelled for us here on earth.
God wants us to pick His nature by being selfless and doing good to others even when they don't deserve it. We don't deserve anything from God due to our sinful nature but He loves us anyway. That is the whole essence of mercy. You don't have to deserve it.
Imagine how Jesus prayed for those who were crucifying Him. He asked God to forgive them. Jesus depicts the true nature of God because the Bible made us understand that everywhere He went, He was doing good.
To be a child of God, you need to believe in Jesus and do what He instructed us in the above mentioned Bible passage and also in Luke 6:35
NIV:
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

We are all children of God indeed although we fall short of his standards. For most people, the part of ''praying for your enemies'' is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work.
