![1 John 5:1-5
• 5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ[a] has
become a child of God. And everyone who loves the
Father loves his children, too. 2 We know we love God’s
children if we love God and obey his
commandments. 3 Loving God means keeping his
commandments, and his commandments are not
burdensome. 4 For every child of God defeats this evil
world, and we achieve this victory through our
faith. 5 And who can win this battle against the world?
Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
