Victory by Faith
1 John 5:2-21
The proof that you love people is love for God, which includes obedience to Him (obedience to God is always the most loving thing for people). All the other commands of God teach us what love means. And for the believer obedience is not only possible, but it is not burdensome. It is easy because faith changes our desires. The opposite of works is not effortlessness, but faith. Faith makes you a new creation (new nature) and helps gives victory in the Christian life through believing God's statement that He is more satisfying than the world. Increase faith by looking into the evidence, subjecting yourself to Scripture with an open heart, and being willing to give up the world.

The entire book of 1 John is included in the following six series:

Fellowship with God (1 John 1:1-4)

Knowing God and Loving People (1 John 2:3-11)

Overcoming Evil (1 John 2:12 – 3:23)

God Living in You (1 John 3:24 – 5:1)

Victory by Faith (1 John 5:2-21)
