• Go On Living as Children of God
    The Watchtower—1986 | July 15

    • 10. What is one way to distinguish between God’s children and those of the Devil?

      10 One way to distinguish between God’s children and those of the Devil is this: “Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate with God.” Unrighteousness is so characteristic of the Devil’s children that they “do not sleep unless they do badness, and their sleep has been snatched away unless they cause someone to stumble,” which is what apostates would like to do to loyal Christians.​—Proverbs 4:14-16.

      11. (a) What is another way to identify those who are not God’s children? (b) Reflecting on Cain’s course should move us to do what?

      11 Furthermore, “neither does he [originate with God] who does not love his brother.”
