“The Children of God vs The Children of the Devil”

 “The Children of God vs The Children of the Devil”

 

…When people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning.  But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.      

Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning because God’s life is in them.  1 John 3:8b-9

 

Those who have given their HEART and LIFE to GOD, through the REDEEMING WORK of JESUS CHRIST, becomes the CHILDREN of GOD.  And the CHILD of GOD does NOT make a PRACTICE of SINNING, because GOD’S LIFE is in them.  Therefore, they, being born into the FAMILY of GOD, cannot CONTINUALLY or HABITUALLY SIN.  They may fall to temptation, from time to time, but they should immediately CONFESS their transgression, and vow NOT to make it a habit.  In their HEART, they are REPENTANT and SORROWFUL for their weakness, which is because of being in the FLESH.  Even though the HOLY SPIRIT indwells them, GOD has given them a FREE WILL, and they are FREE to CHOOSE, whether to FALL to the temptation or whether to REJECT it, and TURN AWAY FROM IT.  Jesus told His Disciples:  “Watch and pray that you may NOT enter into TEMPTATION. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Mat. 26:41)  The CHILD of GOD’S destiny will be an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.

 

Those who KEEP ON SINNING, belong to the devil.  And they take on the traits of their father, the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning.  Sinning is a LIFE-STYLE, for them, which means that their SINFUL NATURE is in CONTROL of their MIND, HEART, and SOUL.  And they do NOT live RIGHTEOUSLY, but SINFULLY, and they generally have NO LOVE for the TRUE BELIEVER, therefore they DO NOT BELONG to GOD.  And their destiny will be an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there.  Children of the devil, have a BLEAK future.  Our verse tells us that the SON of GOD, JESUS CHRIST came to DESTROY the WORKS of the devil, which He did on CALVARY, and at the TOMB where He was VICTORIOUS over SIN, DEATH, and the GRAVE.  

 

If you are a CHILD of the DEVIL, then you are DOOMED, unless you are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and become a TRUE CHILD of GOD, with HEAVEN as your ETERNAL HOME.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
