3Here is what it means to love God. It means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not hard to obey. 4That’s because everyone who is a child of God has won the battle over the world. Our faith has won the battle for us.

5Who is it that has won the battle over the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
