Faith
In The Son Of God
Everyone
who believes that Jesus is the Christ is Born of God,
And
everyone who loves the father loves His child as well.
2
This is how we know that we love the Children of God:
BY
LOVING GOD AND CARRYING OUT HIS COMMANDS.
3
THIS IS LOVE FOR GOD: TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS.
And
His Commands are not burdensome,
FOR
EVERYONE BORN OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD.
4
This is the Victory that has Overcome the World,
Even
our Faith.
5
Who is it that Overcomes the World?
Only
he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6
This is the One Who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ.
He
did not come by water only,
But
by water and blood.
And
it is the Spirit Who Testifies,
BECAUSE
THE SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH.
7
For there are Three that Testify:
8
The Spirit, the Water and the Blood;
(The
Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit)
AND
THE THREE ARE IN AGREEMENT.
9
We accept man's testimony,
But
God's Testimony if greater
Because
it is the Testimony of God,
Which
He has given about His Son.
10
Anyone who believes in the Son of God
Has
this Testimony in his heart.
ANYONE
WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE GOD
HAS
MADE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR,
BECAUSE
HE HAS NOT BELIEVED
THE TESTIMONY GOD HAD GIVEN ABOUT HIS SON.
11And
this is the Testimony:
GOD
HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE,
AND
THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.
12
HE WHO HAS THE SON HAS LIFE;
HE
WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SON OF GOD
DOES
NOT HAVE LIFE.
Concluding
Remarks
13
I write these things to you
Who
believe in the Name of the Son of God
SO
THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
14
This is the assurance we have in approaching God:
That
if we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,
He
hears us.
15
And if we know that He hears us--
Whatever
we ask—
We
know that we have what we asked of Him.
16
If anyone sees his brother Commit a Sin
That
does not lead to Death,
He
should pray and God will give him LIFE.
I
refer to those whose Sin does not lead to Death.
THERE
IS A SIN THAT LEADS TO DEATH.
(The
Sin of Blaspheming the Holy Spirit)
I
am not saying that he should pray about that.
17
ALL WRONGDOING IS SIN,
AND
THERE IS SIN THAT DOES NOT LEAD TO DEATH.
18
WE KNOW THAT ANYONE BORN OF GOD
DOES
NOT CONTINUE TO SIN;
The
One Who was Born of God (Christ)
Keeps
him Safe,
And
the Evil One does not Touch him.
19
We know that we are Children of God,
AND
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD
IS
UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE EVIL ONE.
20
We know also that the Son of God has come
And
has given us UNDERSTANDING,
SO
THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM WHO IS TRUE.
AND
WE ARE IN HIM WHO IS TRUE--
EVEN
IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.
HE
IS THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE.
21
Dear Children, keep yourselves from Idols.
(1
John 5)
