Born of God

God is clear and narrow in His criteria, not because He is unloving, but because we are prone to wandering.

1. Everyone Who Believes in Jesus is Born of God

1 John 5:1
1 John 2:22-23
1 John 4:2

• Phantom Jesus

• Divided Jesus
• Incarnate Jesus: God in the Flesh

God’s Testimony Concerning His Son: The Incarnation
1 John 5:6-10
John 1:14
Philippians 2:5-8

What a wonderfully clear benchmark: Eternal life only through faith in Jesus, God’s Son!

1 John 5:11-13

1. Everyone Who is Born of God Overcomes the World
