Commentary on 1 John 5:1

Theological / Devotional

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. The faith that brings victory and eternal life is the focus here. The term "believe" is key in this chapter, occurring seven times, emphasizing belief in Jesus as the Messiah, which means accepting the plan of salvation. Denying Jesus' divinity is a mark of heresy. Those born of God will love God and also love fellow believers, as they are part of the same family.
