1 John 5: Victory Through Faith

1 John 5 says whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and loving God means keeping his commandments, which are not heavy. Faith overcomes the world. God has given testimony about his Son, and the testimony is that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life. The letter was written so that believers may know they have eternal life. God hears prayers asked according to his will. The letter ends, Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
