What's the difference between a Christian without the Holy Spirit and an unbeliever?
None.
"If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8.9
What's the difference between a lying servant and a servant of Satan?
None.
Jesus spoke these words to the hypocrites: "You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires... When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars." John 8.44
What's the difference between people who call themselves Christian, know the Bible but live in sin, and the wicked?
None.
Jesus said: "Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin." John 8.34
What's the difference between people who belong to God and those who don't?
Everything.
Jesus said: "He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God." John 8.47
Jesus is not referring to hearers of the Word of God, but to those who listen and obey. What good is it to listen but not obey? Does it do anything? No!
What's the difference between haters of their brothers and common murderers?
None.
It is written: "Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."
1 John 3.15
"If someone says, ‘I love God', and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" 1 John 4.20
Some difference, huh, brother?...
Bishop Macedo
