This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
This is how we know who the children of God are
1 John 3:1-2 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--...
and who the children of the devil are
1 John 3:8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister
1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 2:9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.
