We Will Overcome

I Jn 5:1-4
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and whoever loves the Father loves the {child} born of Him.2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-- our faith.(NAS)

These verses are full of encouragement. Believers can stand firm in the knowledge that God can help them keep His commandments to give glory to God. Keeping His commands is an outward sign that we love and fear God. Through faith, nothing in this world can overcome the children of God.
