1 JOHN 5:1-51. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2. This is how we know that we love the children of God : by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4. for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.5. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (NIV). 1 JOHN 4:15 – 16 15. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he is in God. 16. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. (NIV). This month of May opens another door of opportunity to escape the wrath of God. The fact that you are reading this message is enough proof that you are alive . Being given the opportunity to witness this day is a proof of God’s magnanimity. It is a chance to rededicate your life to wholesome living. It is an opportunity to surrender your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, if you have not done so. It is a door for more vigorous evangelism for the second coming of Jesus Christ draws very near. The dark cloud overshadowing the world; the fear pervading the atmosphere; the diverse afflictions, the trauma, the hopelessness, the chaos will become more pronounced.
