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.

Because I know the devil had me in the pawn shop one time, because of sin and transgression, but Jesus Christ took me out of the pawn shop and redeemed me back to God. That makes me His Son this morning. And it is not here what ... yet appear what I shall be in the final end. But I know I will have a body like His own glorious body, for I shall see Him as He is, free from sickness, free from sin. Well, sure He was the Son of God. It's been the aged old question, man seeking and hungering after God. If I should call...

You know what "Son of man" means? Look at Ezekiel the 2nd chapter, and you'll find it. Ezekiel 2:1. Jehovah, Himself, called Ezekiel the prophet, "son of man." He called all the prophets, "son of man." And why, then, did Jesus call Himself, Son of man? Because He had to come in the way that the prophet said He would come. Moses, in Deuteronomy 18:15, said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like me." And He come to reveal Himself to the natural seed of Abraham as "Son of man." And they called it the works...

...ler... The ministers up there said, "These men turn the world upside down. They're imposters, they're terrible people," said the preachers and all the church. "Get them out of the country. Well, these men ought to die. We ought to beat them and put them in a jail and everything." The preachers had that done. But when this little fortuneteller, when she seen them she said, "Why, these are the men of God who tell us the way of life." Then Paul turned around and rebuked that spirit. He didn't need any help from the de...

Although, friends, Satan has got something to pattern, or impersonate anything God has. All the things that he has, he had to impersonate God with it. But where there is a false, if--there's got to be a true one somewhere for it to be made off of, or it wouldn't be false. Is that right? If you had a bogus dollar, well there's got to be a real dollar somewhere. Or if it isn't, that's the original (See?), and it would not be bogus. But Jesus was misunderstood too. He was crucified. They called Him Beelzebub. And Beel...
