“THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REVELATION REGARDING THE SPIRITUAL CHILDREN OF GOD AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE SPIRITUAL CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL"

FROM THE BIBLICAL LESSONS “THE SPIRITUAL KINSHIP RELATIONSHIP”
Part 1.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST created the first man “Adam and
the first woman Eve” (Gen.1:27) “So God created man in His own image, in the image of
God created He him; male and female created He them”. The LORD JESUS the
creator of all things (Is.44:24; John 1:3; Col.1:16; Heb.1:2,10) created man
with self determination in his spirit, to be able to use his own free will in
making decisions (1Pet.2:16). The created human kind never can be equated with robot
machine, programmed by the directive input of actions by human invention.
Adam was created in holiness of character in the
likeness of God (Gen.1:26) without blemish of sin, the same characteristic of
holiness was in the personality of Eve when the LORD splendidly fashioned her
as created woman from one rib of Adam (Gen.2:21-22).
All the created angels were created holy in heaven in
great quantity (Ps.148:2,5) no need to increase their number to multiply, for
they don’t have reproductive capability. When the LORD JESUS had finished all
of His creations “He saw everything that He had
made, and, behold, it was very good.”(Gen.1:31). After His marvelous
creation of all things, peaceful situation exist prevalently, but therein after,
“the archangel Lucifer” spearheaded rebellion against God when he exalted
himself to be like the “Most High God”(Is.14:12-15). “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was
there place found any more in heaven”.
(Rev.12:7-8).The archangel Lucifer had been transformed as the adversary
of the LORD GOD when he exalted himself to be equal with God, and became the
devil, the enemy of the LORD, tagged as the “dragon,” the ancient serpent" and leader of his followers who incited rebellion against God, and they were
defeated by the victorious holy angels of the LORD, and were cast out into the
earth (Rev.12:9), and “Satan deceived the whole
world by promoting devastating sin to human race.”
Satan intruded the Garden of Eden wherein Adam and Eve
lived together, and insidiously deceived Eve by his crafty question with
satanic suggestion (Gen.3:1-5).The
LORD JESUS as the “Personal, Singular,
Exclusively, Self Revealing God among the Triune God” revealed the subtle
deception perpetrated by Satan as the serpent of old (Rev.12:9). According to the
LORD’S written words, “The serpent was more
subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.” The serpent said to the woman “ Yea, hath God said ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden: But the fruit of the tree which is in the midts of the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye
die” (Gen 3:1-3), The woman
correlated additional opinionated words to the explicit command of the LORD
carelessly, the LORD did not prohibit to touch the tree. Then the
serpent perniciously beguiled the woman by declared words to transgress the
mandatory commandment of the LORD, that the woman shall not surely die when she
eat the forbidden fruit “And said, for God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
In the sight of the woman, “the tree was good for food and pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, and took the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to
her husband with her, and he did eat,”(Gen.3:6).
Consequently, both the man and the woman, the first
created human kind had been devastatingly murdered by the devil by his crafty
deception to the woman when he induced her to eat the forbidden fruit. The
devil had intentionally induced them to eat the fruit which God had prohibited
them not to eat lest they die, therefore the devil succeeded in his
destruction, in that he inflicted death to Adam and Eve by their consent to the
devil’s entrapment to them to disobey the commandment of God. Satan became murderer
since the beginning of human existence in the garden of Eden (John 8:44).
The murder did not instantly happen because the LORD
JESUS in accomplishing the Eternal Purpose (Eph.3:11) given to Him by God the
Father pursued the fulfillment of His given command that His created man and
woman must multiply to fill the earth (Gen.3:16), and the curse of the LORD was
rendered to them and to the serpent (Gen.3:14-19).
The given long lifetime to Adam by the LORD JESUS (Acts
17:25) was nine hundred and thirty years and he died (Gen.5:5) because of his
disobedience to the LORD. Adam’s first born son Cain became a murderer when he
killed his brother Abel (Gen.4:8) because of envy and pride.
In the first advent of the LORD JESUS here on earth
when He incarnated in the flesh, many Jews did not recognized Him that He is
their God, and Savior of the world; “and they seek to kill Him because He had
broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal
with God” ( John 5:18;8:40).The LORD
JESUS identified them as children of the devil because of
their conspiracy to murder Him, (John 8:44) “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father ye will
do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it.”
We can comprehensively know by the exposition of the LORD JESUS how Satan had been a murderer from the beginning:it was by his diabolic rebellion that he murdered himself and all his demon followers,certainly because, "The wages of sin is death"(Rom.6:23); by his spearheaded rebellion against God, he malevolently incurred the death penalty for themselves, therefore, he was a murderer from the beginning, according to the LORD JESUS CHRIST (John 8:44).
It is a revelation of the LORD JESUS that anyone who likewise do the deeds of the devil such as: murder, telling lies, and any sinful deeds written in Apostle Paul’s epistle to Galatians (Gal.5:19-21) become spiritual child of the devil and his follower (John 8:44). This revelation of the LORD gave us clear comprehension that many in this world are spiritual children and followers of the devil.

This revelation of the LORD gave us clear comprehension that many in this world are spiritual children and followers of the devil.
Even anyone among His disciples, whosoever oppose the
will of the LORD JESUS, may be transformed as a devil, e.g. the Apostle Peter
when he opposed the LORD JESUS in His messianic duty to be in Jerusalem whereto
He will lay down Himself to suffer death for our sin. The LORD repulsed the
repugnance of Apostle Peter and told him out right, “Get thee behind Me, Satan: thou art an offence unto Me: for thou
savourest not the things that be of God ,but those that be of
men.”(Matt.16:23).Nevertheless, the Apostle Peter did not continue to be
persistent adversary against the LORD.
Among the twelve the twelve disciples of the LORD JESUS, the second,and the one who had been transformed as a devil till his death was "Judas Iscariot" (John 6:70-71), because he allowed Satan to enter in him (Luke 22:3; John13:27) and then he miserably became demon possessed and murdered himself (Acts 1:16-18) his bishoprick was given to another (Acts 1:20).
It is very important for all true adherents of the LORD JESUS CHRIST to have untainted integrity, by remaining irrevocably faithful to Him alone, and to be undaunted against the devastating destruction of the devil (1Pet.5:8-9) to be able to resist his extremely wicked intention to destroy everyone.

The given free will of the LORD JESUS for all of us,
and for all angels, is of great importance, certainly because in our personal
decision, or determination, or will, that the LORD JESUS will justly, and
rightly render to us whatever is in accordance to the things that we
intentionally had done ( Ps.62:12;Rom.2:6).We must wisely have prudent will in
choosing the right way of life, which is in the LORD JESUS,(John 14:6), that we
might not be identified as spiritual children of the devil: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the way of death" (Pr.14:12).
The LORD JESUS revealed that Satan and all demon
angels, and all human kind that became children of the devil (John 8:44) will
definitely have second death in the lake of fire (Rev.21:8) and will be
tormented day and night forever and ever (Rev.20:10).They will remain there
with Satan, together with the false prophet and anti Christ (Rev.20:10). The
second death is not the same with physical death here on earth, according to “VINE’S EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY Of Old and New
Testament Words: Death is the opposite of life; it never denotes non-
existence.”As spiritual life is “conscious existence in communion with God,” so
spiritual death is “conscious existence in separation from God.”Precisely,
unrepentant sinners, the spiritual children of the devil will for ever have
existence in the lake of fire, but eternally separated from God, this is
comprehensively “the second death”(Rev.21:8).
Death is “THANATOS” in Greek
word, it denotes (a) the separation of the soul ( the spiritual part of man) from the body which is, (b) ( the material part), the latter ceasing to
function and turning to dust, (Ecc.12:7) “but the spirit shall return to God
who gave it.” The reason why we must for ever be “TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY, AND
EXCLUSIVELY, ALL FOR THE LORD JESUS having Faith, Hope, and Irrevocable LOVE FOR
HIM. We must have already received Him in His fullness (John 1:16) because,
just all of those who received Him and believed in His name, and had been born
again as repentant sinners by His eternal word (1Pet.1:23) will be the
recipients of His given rights to become His adopted children (John 1:12) and
will have eternal glorified body that will forever be with the LORD JESUS in
His Eternal Kingdom (Phil.3:21; 2Pet.1:11).
By using our free will, all of us must individually
have a chosen decision, “to be children of God by the given rights of the LORD
JESUS CHRIST (John 1:12) or to be children of the devil (John 8:44) by being
perpetual doer of the deeds of the devil. If anyone choose to be adopted son
and/or daughter of the “LORD GOD ALMIGHTY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”(2Cor.6:14-18) that person must consider these command of the LORD for all of His spiritual children, “Not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion
hath light with darkness? And what concord hath CHRIST with Belial? (the proper
name for Satan) or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what
agreement hath the temple of God with idols? ( man made graven images or any
false gods) for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will
dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the LORD,
and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father
unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the LORD ALMIGHTY.”(2Cor.6:14-18).
The wise decision for all is to follow the LORD JESUS:
to repent and renounce all sin, (Luke 13:3; 2Tim.2:19), and to stick firmly by
cleaving to the LORD (Jer.13:11) in His righteousness, avoiding to back slide
in sinfulness, and be forever faithful to Him by committing faith, hope, and
great love for Him alone,(1Cor.13:13).
Refuse all the works and all motivations of the devil
such as :murder, promotion of falsehood, self exaltation, robbery, envy,
contravening the will of God and His words, justification of sexual immorality,
e.g. homosexuality, lesbianism, fornication, adultery; and pride of life,
cruelty, idolatry, greediness, slander, hypocrisy, etc…all doers of these
condemnable sin are children of the devil (Ps,5:5; 7:11;Matt.7:22-23; John 8:44;
Gal.5:19-21; Rev.21:8).
By our individual fixed decision that each and every
one of us be permanently destined either to Eternal Life with the LORD JESUS
(John 10:27), or in eternal torment in the lake of fire together with devil,
anti Christ, false prophet, all demons and all unrepentant sinners (Rev.21:8).
