Jesus Christ's words recorded by John (John chapter 8) tell of liars being so like Satan in behaviour that they are still regarded by God as children of Satan. Likewise with totally unwarranted hatefull thoughts and intentions which are also characteristic of The Evil One. So does this still mean you and I? We have testimony of Jesus recorded in the scriptures in words given by the Spirit of God which have power to transform us into people characterised by the kind of behaviour associated with God The Father. These words can be kept within like seeds that can grow and change us in this way? Are they doing this yet? Are we becoming more like God in truthful speech and family love? Are you and I keeping those words within? The Holy Spirit nowadays comes direct when sent to those who believe and He too transforms those who believingly receive preaching that God gives so the characteristics of truthful speech and loving attitudes are planted to outgrow the evil lying and hating and displace it. Is that happening to you yet? Are you believing these teachings of Jesus yet in such a real faith that God seals with such visits by the Holy Spirit? Press on towards this goal and truly become a child of God.
