Abraham’s Seed and Satan’s

37 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but ^ayou seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

38 ^aI speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have¹ seen with your father.”

39 They answered and said to Him, ^a“Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, ^b“If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

40 ^aBut now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth ^bwhich I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

41 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; ^awe have one Father—God.”

John 8:37-42

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.
