1 John 5:1-5

1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.

2We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments.

3Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.

4For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.

5And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
