John also teaches that faith in Jesus gives believers the power to overcome the world and its temptations. v. 1 : John says, Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him (1 John 5:1 ). If you believe that Jesus is the Messiah, you are born of God. This means you are part of God’s family. If you love God, you will also love other believers, because they are God’s children too (2 John 1:3 ).
