Hello, this is Pastor Steven Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona.
In the last two videos, I showed you from Galatians chapter 3 that if we believe in
Jesus Christ, we're the children of Abraham.
We are the seed of Abraham.
Now in John chapter 8 verse 39, Jesus is going back and forth with the unbelieving Jews,
those that are not saved.
And they answered and said unto him in verse 39, Abraham is our father.
Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of
God.
This did not Abraham, ye do the deeds of your father.
And said they to him, We be not born of fornication, we have one father, even God.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me.
For I proceeded forth, and came from God, neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Why do ye not understand my speech, even because ye cannot hear my word?
Ye are of your father, the devil.
Now in this scripture, they're saying Abraham's our father.
Jesus turns around and says, No, Abraham's not your father, because if Abraham were your
father, ye would do the works of Abraham.
He said, If God were your father, ye would love me.
So he's very clearly telling them in this passage, Abraham is not your father, God is
not your father, and he says, You are of your father, the devil.
And who is he talking to?
Unbelieving Jews who are following the religion of the Pharisees.
Now today's religion of Judaism, rabbinical Judaism, is the religion of the Pharisees.
It's a Christ-rejecting religion.
And God says unto them, You're not of Abraham.
And yet people today, Christians today, will say that the Jews are the children of Abraham,
and they're blessed because of Abraham.
And they'll apply Genesis 12, 1 through 3, which is promises that were made to Abraham,
and they'll say, That applies unto the Jews today, because they're the seed of Abraham.
Jesus told them that Abraham is not their father, but that the devil is their father.
So those promises do not apply to them.
They do not inherit those promises.
They inherit the devil.
I mean, they don't inherit the promises made to Abraham because Jesus said, You're not
of the seed of Abraham.
If you were, you'd believe in me.
You're not of the seed of Abraham.
