Are you a child of God or a child of the devil?

There are only two choices in life. To be a child of God or a child of the devil. You get to make the choice. 

1 John 3:4-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Child of God-follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior striving to do righteousness by obeying the Word of God and striving to be like Jesus which includes loving others even your enemies.
Child of the devil-following what the world says is right, prideful, violent, decides for self if any of bible is relevant for their life, thieves, liars, sexually immoral, loves darkness, will not listen to godly counsel, selfish, filled with hate, murderers.
So which are you? Come to Jesus....His arms are open wide for you!
