Children of God vs. Children of Devil


Many will raise their foreheads perhaps to this bible-statement, which says “Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child”. But for those who regard bible and its teachings seriously will agree the very truth in it. The word of God reads in 1 John 3:9-10, NIV-Bible; “No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.”

Even from the beginning God has separated the light from the darkness. For more understanding; darkness is only the phase without the presence of light since there is nothing really called ‘darkness’ in its original form. Correspondingly, in the lives of true believers, darkness described as evil seems to give way to the light, as it disappears and has no prevalence in the presence of God which is portrayed as light. The Bible declares that those who are revived in spirit cannot continue betraying God’s love, especially when the spirit within mourns and convicts those who are redeemed by His words. It is written in 1 John 3:19-24, NIV-Bible; “This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask; because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.”

Therefore, keep our minds and hearts clear from those corrupted doctrines that promote salvation at ease. For anyone and everyone who believes truly in the name of Jesus, salvation can be attained through the real faith in Him. Moreover, it is quite fascinating to read a bible-verse in the form of a question in Hebrews 1:14; “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” – A perfect verse in the bible that proves the predestined theory of the Lord on the chosen people who possibly inherits salvation since God will send His angels to minister them. Amen
