Has the Devil Ever Been Your Father? (John 8:44)

Summary

Pastor Chris McCoo teaches that the devil has never been the father of believers; rather, those who trust in Christ have always been children of God by God's sovereign election before the foundation of the world. Belief and being born again are effects of already being God's children, not the cause. Assurance of salvation comes from understanding God's eternal purpose and grace, not from human effort or decision. The sermon emphasizes the permanence of God's election and the eternal security of believers.
