We have the same creator, but different fathers

What I'm about to say next might not sit well with some. We are NOT all children of God. We are all creations of God, but only those who are born again, they are truly the children of God. Don't confuse the two. God does desire that NONE should perish and that all would come to repentance.
People who go to hell, chose to go there because they refused to believe in Jesus and repent of their sins. God gave them what they wanted, which was no God in their life so they're eternally separated from Him. 1 John 3:10, the word says "By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother." Why? Because Jesus said in John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Also Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commands." 
Jesus also said in John 8:43-44 
"Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

So there is a obvious difference between the children of God and the children of the devil. The children of God love Him by obeying His commands and love others like they love themselves. On the other hand, children of the devil hate God and disobey His commands. Children of the devil cannot understand the word of God and the things of God. This is why we must be born again! So that we can hear the instructions of God so we can obey Him. And so that we go out and tell others about Jesus and the good news. 

We can't all be children of God, according to the Bible.
