Or Child of the Devil?
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
Holy Bible, 1 John 3:9-13 KJV
Born again believers cannot sin or kill because of who and what they are in Christ: God’s righteous children, accepted in the beloved, still able to sin, but they choose neither to rebel against their new LORD nor offend His Holy Ghost.
