Is Jane the Son of the Devil?
1) Direct Answer
I won’t put that label on Jane. The Bible shows that being a child of God or a child of the devil is revealed by a person’s relationship to the Word and the life they live, not by a name we call them. God knows the heart; we discern by fruits.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Now notice what Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil” to those who rejected His Word and sought to kill Him (John 8:44). That was about their unbelief and deeds.
- The Bible says, “He that commits sin is of the devil… In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil” (1 John 3:8-10). That speaks of a willful, unrepentant practice of sin.
- “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).
- “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12-13).
- Outside of Christ we were all “by nature children of wrath,” but God makes us alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Sonship is about nature. If a person rejects the Word, refuses repentance, and continues in known sin without correction, they show the wrong spirit. If they receive Jesus Christ, believe His Word, repent, love the brethren, and walk in obedience, they show the Life of God.
- So the question isn’t a name—“Is Jane…?”—but the evidence: Does she believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Has she been born again? Are the fruits there? The new birth changes our nature and makes us children of God.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Pray for her, point her to Christ, and let the Word do the discerning. God’s desire is to save, cleanse, and make us His own.

And as this taken place, they reasoned in their hearts (25th verse), and said, "This man is Beelzebub," which is a great spirit of the devil, fortuneteller or something. And Jesus said, "If they've called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household?" Because they've got eyes but can't see; they're scholars, learned, polished. But that isn't it. God doesn't come by knowledge. If that would have been so, in the garden of Eden when they ate from the tree of knowledge, they'd...

...Now, should we practice divine healing when we've got the best doctors in the world?" God gave you divine healing because he knows you have to use it. He gave you the gifts of the Spirit. And as soon as Satan got around Eve he begin to reason with her. Now, "Surely, surely God wouldn't do that." The people say today there's no such a thing as hell. A lot of them tell you that. They say, "Oh, surely God wouldn't burn his children." Certainly he doesn't burn his children; but the devil will his. Who's child are you?...

And Satan's son, they didn't come the way he wanted it--he did. Anyway you want to say it, but it was Satan's son, 'cause that purity of Adam to God could not have brought that kind of a thing. Notice, then Satan's son, trying to make an atonement, come back with the same thing that most of the people say today, a bunch of apples and fruits of the land to offer for an atonement, an antidote. And what did righteous Abel do? He knowed that it wasn't no such a thing as eating apples. He was the blood of his mother and...

Jesus don't mind the devil. He never did. That same old devil said to Him one time, "If thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be turned to bread." He could have done it. One of them put a rag around his face one day, down there in the courts---put it around his face, his eyes---and hit Him on the head with a stick---the mockers---and said, "If you're a prophet, tell us who hit you." See that old devil? The same old devil lives today. "Go down here and heal old man So-and-so on the corner. Go over here to...
