Today I would like to look at 1 John 5 verse 1 to 5
1)Whoever believes that Jesus is the Messiah is a child of God; and whoever loves a father loves his child also.
2)This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.
3)For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us,
4)because every child of God is able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our faith.
5)Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
We become part of Gods family through rebirth in Jesus Christ, thus all other believers are part of the family of Jesus Christ and is thus our brothers and sisters. God Himself determine who the other family members are and therefor we must love them, it is our duty to love them. Because we love God we must also do what He demands, and this will not be too difficult for us to do, because God will give us the power to stand strong against evil. The self-discipline and hard work to do what God require will not be a burden to us.
Have a wonderful day.
