Suppose someone thinks they know more than we do. So they don’t follow Christ’s teaching. Then that person doesn’t belong to God. But whoever follows Christ’s teaching belongs to the Father and the Son.

“ So you are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered,“ You say that I am a king. In fact, that’s the reason I was born. I was born and came into the world to be a witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to me.”

Some people did accept him and did believe in his name. He gave them the right to become children of God.To be a child of God has nothing to do with human parents. Children of God are not born because of human choice or because a husband wants them to be born. They are born because of what God does.

It is written in the Prophets,‘ God will teach all of them.’( Isaiah 54:13) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.No one has seen the Father except the one who has come from God. Only he has seen the Father.

I know that you are Abraham’s children. But you are looking for a way to kill me. You have no room for my word.

But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.

“ I have shown you to the disciples you gave me out of the world. They were yours. You gave them to me. And they have obeyed your word.Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.I gave them the words you gave me. And they accepted them. They knew for certain that I came from you. They believed that you sent me.

So he continued speaking. He said,“ This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father helps them.”

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see if they belong to God. Many false prophets have gone out into the world.Here is how you can recognize the Spirit of God. Every spirit agreeing that Jesus Christ came in a human body belongs to God.But every spirit that doesn’t agree with this does not belong to God. You have heard that the spirit of the great enemy of Christ is coming. Even now it is already in the world.Dear children, you belong to God. You have not accepted the teachings of the false prophets. That’s because the one who is in you is powerful. He is more powerful than the one who is in the world.False prophets belong to the world. So they speak from the world’s point of view. And the world listens to them.We belong to God. And those who know God listen to us. But those who don’t belong to God don’t listen to us. That’s how we can tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of lies.

Why aren’t my words clear to you? Because you can’t really hear what I say.

But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me!

Here is how you can tell the difference between God’s children and the devil’s children. Anyone who doesn’t do what is right isn’t God’s child. And anyone who doesn’t love their brother or sister isn’t God’s child either.
