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.

Jesus on his way up... The devil always doubted that being any more than a prophet. He didn't believe that He was Emmanuel, God manifested in his own Son, Him and his Son being one. Why, he couldn't see that. How could God, the great creator, ever stand and let somebody tell Him, "Well, if you be the Son of God, command these stones to be turned to bread." And how could He, in Pilate's courtyard, when the---excuse the expression---but when the chips was down, as we would call it...? And there He was with a rag arou...

...en, amen." And the real translation in the King James, from the original Greek, it says--it says, "Verily, verily," means, "Absolutely, absolutely, I say unto you, that the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise." Is that right? Now, how many knows the Bible said that? Raise your hand. Saint John 5. Right. Now, Jesus did not do nothing until He seen the Father do it first. Is that right? How many believes that He--that He knew their thoughts? Well then, He read...

Now, notice. They stood with their hands behind them. They knowed they had to answer. Because He didn't speak well of them, well, they said, "He does this through the power of Beelzebub." Beelzebub's a devil, and anybody knows that fortune-telling is of the devil. All those things are of the devil. And everything the devil has is something that's perverted from real. The devil cannot create. He's not a creator. There's only one creator---that's God. He can pervert what has been created. A good woman can be in the w...

Now, the Scriptures is our absolutely, infallible proofs of what we are speaking of. 1st John, 3rd chapter, and the 9thth verse. All right, listen to this!
