1 John 5:1-5
Faith in the Son of God
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
St. John tells us that if we believe in Jesus we are born of God...By loving God we will carry out His commands...For us to overcome the world like Jesus did, we need to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and we will have everlasting life...
