The
Children Of The Devil
31
To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said,
'If
you hold to My Teaching, you are really My Disciples.
32
THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH
AND
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.'
33
They answered Him, 'We are Abraham's Descendants
And
have never been slaves of anyone.
How
can you say that we shall be Set Free?'
34
Jesus replied, 'I tell you the Truth,
EVERYONE
WHO SINS IS A SLAVE TO SIN.
35
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family,
But
a son belongs to it forever.
36
SO IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED.
37
I know you are Abraham's Descendants,
Yet
you are ready to Kill Me, because you have no room for My Word
38
I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's Presence,
And
you do what you have heard from your father.'
39
'Abraham is our father,' they answered.
'If
you were Abraham's Children,' said Jesus,
'Then
you would do the things Abraham did,
40
As it is you are determined to Kill Me,
A
man who has told you the Truth that I heard from God.
Abraham
did not do such things.
41
YOU ARE DOING THE THINGS YOUR OWN FATHER DOES.'
'We
are not Illegitimate Children,' they protested.
'The
only Father we have is God Himself.'
The
Children Of The Devil
42
Jesus said to them,
'IF
GOD WERE YOUR FATHER, YOU WOULD LOVE ME,
FOR
I CAME FROM GOD AND NOW AM HERE.
I
have not come on My own; But He sent Me.
43
WHY IS MY LANGUAGE NOT CLEAR TO YOU?
BECAUSE
YOU ARE UNABLE TO HEAR WHAT I SAY.
44
YOU BELONG TO YOUR FATHER, THE DEVIL,
YOU
WANT TO CARRY OUT YOUR FATHER'S DESIRE.
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.
45
Yet because I tell the Truth, you do not believe Me!
46
Can any of you prove Me Guilty of Sin?
If
I am telling the Truth, why don't you believe Me?
47
HE WHO BELONGS TO GOD HEARS WHAT GOD SAYS.
THE
REASON YOU DO NO HEAR
IS
THAT YOU SO NOT BELONG TO GOD.
(John
8:31-47)
This
is perhaps the most Ignored Reality of Scripture.
Everyone
who does not belong to Christ Jesus
IS A
SLAVE TO SIN.
Christ
Jesus is the only One Who can set anyone Free
From
the Grip of Sin—From the Grip of the Devil.
The
Whole World is a Captive of Sin [Gal. 3:22; 2 Tim. 3:26]
And
doing the Will of their father, the Devil.
The
only people who are Free
Are
those with Christ living In and Through them.
Why
has the World been a Continual Mess from the beginning?
Because
the Whole World is Captive to Sin and to the Devil.
Yet
this Reality is Ignored by Most Christians,
Which
puts them in the Category of Unbelief,
As
this is a Most Basic Reality;
The
Teaching of Christ Jesus Himself.
America
is not exempt from this Reality.
And
that is why America is in the Mess it is in today.
No
Christian would send their Children to Public Schools,
Who
Understood and Believed this Teaching of Christ Jesus,
And
allow godless, Socialist, Secular Humanists
To
INDOCTRINATE their Children into their godlessness.
So
American Christianity Stands in a State of UNBELIEF--
In a
State of DENIAL!
And
this IGNORANCE will have Eternal Consequences in the End.
Unless
a person is Born Again, Born of the Spirit of God,
They
do not belong to Christ Jesus.
Unless
a person follows the Teaching of Christ Jesus,
They
do not belong to Christ Jesus.
It is
the Spirit that leads us into All Truth [John 16:13].
If we
Ignore that Truth, we are as an Unbeliever.
The
fact is that Most American Christians
Have
not come out from the World and become Separate.
American
Christians have Yoked themselves with Unbelievers.
(2
Corinthians 6:14-18)
That
is why, today, there is little difference
Between
those who claim to belong to Christ and the World.
