Are you a child of God? In today’s presentation, we will be looking at 1 John 5:1-5. We’ve already talked about the fact that it’s a manifest contradiction to claim to love God , yet hate one’s brother. And we explained in detail what the contradiction was. A child of God cannot hate another child of God because they are both indwelled with the Holy Spirit. We also discovered that at the root of the hatred is an antipathy towards the righteousness of God. So the person who hates his brother in Christ really is completely opposed to the righteousness of God. Today we’ll build on what we’ve already learned and talk about the nature and traits of true children of God.
Are You A Child Of GOD?
Passage:
5 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. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
