Who is you father? I am not talking about your biological father but of your spiritual father. God is love and everything He does is a result of Love while the devil is the father of lies and everytime he opens his mouth everything that comes out are lies. So, which one is your father? Are you someone who spread peace and love or are you someone who kill, steal and destroy? Remember that even though you are from a chistian family it doesn't make you a christian because your parents ate christians. Christianity should be a personal choice. It doesn't mean also that you say you are a christian or perhaps you believe so but you don't do what Jesus has been commanding ever since that doesn't mean you are a christian. You are those so called christian only by name and you are no difference with the rest. The pharisees of the time of Jesus ministry on earth thought of the same thing. They mistakenly thought that they are the lawful and just and special people of God just because they are decendants of Abraham. They claim to be children of abraham but they don't act like one. Jesus said a very powerful message in John 8:44. He went straight in their face and told them that, "the devil is your father and the desires of your father you want to do." That was a hard accusation in the face of the pharisees but that is the truth. Jesus only speaks of truth. Who you really are from within will eventually comes out. Who you follow will be seen in your words and actions but we always have a choice. Choose to walk in such a way that shows where you came from. Are you from the Father of light and love? Or are you from the father of darkness and lies? Think about it.John 8:37-4737 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with[l] your father.” 39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.41 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” |
