B. CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL

1. Children of the devil do not do what is RIGHT. In First John 3:10 John, the beloved disciple says, “Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God;….”

2. Children of the devil do not LOVE their brethren. In First John 3:10 John, the beloved disciple says, “Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.”

In Acts 13:10 the apostle Paul says to Elymas, the sorcerer, “‘You are a child of the devil and….'”

DO YOU BELONG TO THE DEVIL OR DO YOU BELONG TO GOD?
