In the arms of God or the jaws of the devil - WHICH. "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness," 1 John 5:19. (Preached in Kilskeery FPC, morning service) Here is a delightful assertion for the Christians but a dreadful assertion of the sinner. This text refers first of all to the people of God. "And we know that we are of God." It then refers to the rest of the world in the remainder of the verse. "And the whole world lieth in wickedness." That is all this world consists -- those in Christ and those who are not. Those who are in of God and those who are of the devil. Considers these words then please.
