John 8:42
Excerpted from: Loving Christ and Revelation 2:1-7They saw themselves as the sons of God merely because they were the physical descendants of Abraham. But Jesus rejects that by saying the proof that they are the sons of God is whether they love Him. If it held true for the Jews, it also holds true for us. Though most of us are sons of Abraham racially because we're part of the tribes of Israel, it suits us just the way it suited the Jews. So Abraham is our father, but unless we have the love of God, God is not our spiritual Father. The proof of that is we will love Christ. His own advice: "If you love Me, keep the commandments."
John 8:42-47
Excerpted from: The Radiance of God's GloryNow please turn over to John 8, verse 42. As the conflict grew nearer, Jesus says it shows the difference between what He had seen with His Father and what they had heard from theirs. And when they protested, He declared that God was His Father and that the Devil was their father.
Jesus told the Jews that because they were children of their father, they did not know what truth was. They lived in a world of lies and distortion and falsehood. In a sense, truth was a foreign language to them; their native language was lies.
John 8:37-42
Excerpted from: Passover (Part Two)Is He not implying that they did not love Him? Do you not think that if they loved Him they would have been obedient to what it says in the Old Testament? Is He not saying, very strongly, here that these people were not obeying God?
You see, in reality, they belonged to someone else. They belonged to another "family." Jesus very clearly represented the Family of God. These people, who were supposed to represent the Family of God, were not representing the Family of God. They were representing someone else.
John 8:42-43
Excerpted from: Satan (Part 2)They had no ear for it. Why? Because their disobedience had blinded them and deafened them to the truth. Right and wrong had become so blurred in their minds they could not hardly tell the difference.
