Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
There are two significant consequences of the conviction that Jesus is the Christ. One is that I am being regenerated by the LORD, God the Almighty. I am a new man and have entered into the transformation process. I am being made holy. Secondly, I have been brought into a community that is defined by mutual love. A very special love, one which is characterized by sacrificial love for each other and for our neighbors.
