THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL

John 8:31-47

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 AND BELONGS TO THE DEVIL.

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.
