Welcome to The Word Became Fresh, the Bible-teaching ministry of Pastor Sebastian Petz from The WORD Church LA.

In today’s episode, Jesus continues His conversation with those who claim to believe in Him — but whose hearts reveal otherwise.

They insist, "Abraham is our father."
But Jesus replies, "If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did." (John 8:39)

Their confidence in heritage masks a crisis of the heart.
Abraham welcomed the truth; they’re trying to kill the One who speaks it.

Then Jesus exposes the real issue — their spiritual lineage.
He says, "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires." (John 8:44)

This is one of the sharpest moments in John’s Gospel.
Jesus draws a line no one can blur — you either belong to the truth or to the lie.
And the defining mark of a true child of God is simple: you hear His Word and love His voice.
