Weekend Words -1 John 5

1 John 5 NIV

 

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.

This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.

In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,  for everyone born of God overcomes the world.

This is the victory

a statue of Christ and a small church
Har-Ber Village museum in Oklahoma

overcome

the world,

even our

faith.”
