For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 

1 John 5:4

Memory Verse

Will be allowed to eat from the tree of life that is in the paradise of God.

Will not be harmed by the second death. Will be given hidden manna and a white stone with a new

name. Will be given authority over the nations. Will be dressed in white clothing, name written in the

book of life and declared before the Father and His angels. Will make them a pillar and never depart from the

Temple of my God in the city of my God. Will grant permission to sit with me on my throne

The One Who conquers:

For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God which he has given about his Son.

1 John 5:9

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

1 John 5:16-17

For instance, if we see a Christian believer sinning (clearly I’m not talking about those who make a practice of sin in a way that is "fatal," leading to eternal death), we ask for God’s help and he gladly gives it, gives life to the sinner whose sin is not fatal. There is such a thing as a fatal sin, and I’m not urging you to pray about that. Everything we do wrong is sin, but not all sin is fatal.

1 John 5:16-17The Message

We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true – even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

1 John 5:18-20

Anyone born of God does not continue to sin

God keeps him safe and the evil one cannot harm him

The whole world is under the control of the evil one

The Son of God has come and has given us understanding

We know him who is true – He is the true God and eternal life
