Friday's Living Water

Scripture-

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5: 1-5
