Chapter 17: Born of God--Life That Overcomes (1 John 5:1-5)

0:00

-23:56

John says everyone born of God “overcomes the world”. But most days it doesn’t feel like victory. It feels like tension: you trust Christ, yet your loves still wobble; you know the gospel is finished, yet your life feels in progress. In 1 John 5:1–5, John gathers faith, love, and obedience into one life that flows from new birth and anchors it all in a Person, not a performance. This week’s reflection sits in that “already and not yet” space and listens as John explains what it really means to be born of God, and why that’s far better than chasing a spiritual high of “winning at life.”
