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 that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5: 1-5
Five plus five equal ten commandments, the ten commandments in the Old Testaments points to the need for a savior. Offers of sacrifice, Jesus the perfect lamb, became a sacrifice for you and me the perfect sacrifice. Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God? this doesn’t take five minutes or five seconds, just a minute, to believe that Jesus who knew no sin, died on the cross, taking our sins on his body, so whosoever believed in him would not perish but would have eternal life. John 3:16.
What a promise in 1 John 5: 5, when we believe we are a overcomer!
