1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is God’s child, and whoever loves the Father also loves the Father’s children.
2 This is how we know we love God’s children: when we love God and obey his commands.
3 Loving God means obeying his commands. And God’s commands are not too hard for us,
4 because everyone who is a child of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world—our faith.
5 So the one who conquers the world is the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
