1 John 5:1-12 “Faith in the Incarnate Son of God” (2/8/26)

1 John 5:1-12 teaches that everyone who believes Jesus is the Christ is born of God, leading to love for both God and His children through obedience to His commands, which are not burdensome, and this faith enables believers to overcome the world.

The passage then affirms the testimony to Jesus as the Son of God—coming by water and blood, confirmed by the Spirit—that grants eternal life to those who believe in Him, while unbelief rejects God's witness and forfeits that life.
