John’s Five Evidences of the New Birth
FAITH – “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth Him that begat loveth also him that is begotten of Him.” (1 John 5:1)
PURITY – “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:9)
LOVE – “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” (1 John 3:14)
PERSEVERANCE – “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.” (1 John 5:18)
CONQUEST – “For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” (1 John 5:4)
Nice article Chris! MAT 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
