Bible knowledge does not make you a child of God

Bible study and Bible knowledge does not make you a child of God. Church membership and being religious, having a baptismal certificate to prove that you were baptized, that does not make you a child of God. Even if you pray in tongues it does not make you a child of God, or if you prophesy, or preach or a show much charity.
The question is: Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ? Do you have the nature of Jesus? Do you show the fruit of being a child of God?  Do you love Jesus Christ and do you love your neighbor? Many profess to be Christians but they are not disciples, are not born again. They love themselves they do not love Jesus and they do not love their neighbor. They love the world and the things of the world but they are religious, yet they call themselves Christians. We need to be disciples of Jesus Christ, followers of Jesus, and we need to show fruit of repentance, fruit of being born again, fruit of being a children of God. Fruit of repentance is not just to admit that you are a sinner and then continue sinning. No, you turn away from your previous lifestyle of sin and self gratification; you turn away from being worldly and self-centered and you go after Jesus Christ, you obey His words, His commands. You truly repent and you become a new creature inside, a child of God who does the will of God. You turn away from sin and you live holy and righteous, you obey Jesus and you are baptized in water, for the washing off of your sin and after that you live a life that is dedicated to Jesus Christ, you are separated unto Him. You are not like the world. You do not follow after your own desires and after the things of the world, you seek the will of God. You become a disciple; you seek the presence of Jesus, His Holy Spirit to dwell in you and to guide you every step of the way, so that you can do the will of God. You live to please Him, not to please yourself. You do not try to impress other people. You are only interested in being pleasing to God. Being a child of God, is being a disciple of Jesus Christ and nothing less. Being a child of God means being of Jesus, belonging to Jesus, and not of the world or of the church.
A disciple of Jesus Christ belongs to Him, he is of the kingdom of God. Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ? Are you of Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

Believers but not SONS of God

Those who believe in Jesus Christ have the power to become CHILDREN OF GOD, SONS of God. Most believers never become sons of God. They PRETEND to be children of God but they never submitted themselves to Jesus Christ, they never OBEYED Jesus and thus they never became children of God. They are still sons of the devil because they are sinners.
If you are a son of God then you only have ONE desire and that is TO PLEASE GOD, to be pleasing to Jesus, to DO those things that are pleasing to your Father GOD.
If you have other desires then you are not a child of God. You may be a BELIEVER but the power of God that TRANSFORMS you into a child of God never started working. You are TRANSFORMED by faith in Jesus. If you BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and His words and you OBEY Him, you TURN away from being a son of the devil, from being a sinner and you FOLLOW Jesus. You are baptized in water for the washing off of your sin and out of that water comes a NEW BEING, a CHILD OF GOD who WANTS to DO the will of God, who SEEKS to be filled with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God. Those who are led by the Spirit of God THEY are sons of God. (Romans 8:14) Then only do you become a child of God. Your DESIRE is to serve Him, you are transformed, you are changed.
Are you just a believer in Jesus or has the power of the Spirit of God worked in you to transform you into a child of God because YOU WANT TO BE a child of God? Have you become child of God? Do you WANT t o please your Father or are you still a sinner and is the devil still your father?

May Jesus bless you.
