We are born of God and overcome this world, his creation
1 John 5:1 – 5
5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth (agape) him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of (ek) him.
2 By this we know that we love (agape) the children of God, when we love (agape) God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love (AGAPEO) of God, that (hino) we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world (kosmos), but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
