1 John 3:7-8 NASB Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

My toddler is getting harder and harder to trick. If he has his mind set on fruit snacks, and I try to give him some other snack? Well he just bats it away, he knows the difference!

Even children can tell the basic difference between right and wrong, so why are we so often deceived? Maybe because we want to be! It is sometimes easy to pretend that we can be a Christian and continue in our sin, but don’t be deceived! God says the difference between a believer and the world should be quite easy to see:

The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24 NASB
