Faith in the Son of God: Overcoming and Eternal Life

1 John 5:1-12

5
Chapter 5
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God. And everyone who loves the one who begot loves the one begotten from him also. 2 In this we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and do his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 because everything born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, if not the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ—not in the water only, but in the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 that three are the ones bearing witness, 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are into the one. 9 If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God: that he has testified concerning his Son. 10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe has made God a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. 12 The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
