Faith, Love, and Overcoming
1 John 5:1-5
Everyone born of God believes Jesus is Christ, loves God and overcomes the world
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1) He who believes Jesus is the Christ is born of God, loves the Father and the one born of Him, 5:1.
2) We know we love God’s children when we love God and obey His commandments, 5:2.
3) Love for God is that we keep His commandments and they aren’t burdensome, 5:3.
4) Everyone born of God overcomes the world through the victory of faith, 5:4.
5) The one who overcomes the world is the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God, 5:5.
