For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
Regeneration gives us strength to overcome whatever stands against God's commandments. Faith is the very means and hand by which we lay hold on Christ, who alone performs this victory; we are conquerors already, though the battle rages.
AI summary
The believer who trusts that Jesus is the Messiah is born of God and stands spiritually descended from Him, not by flesh but by the Spirit. It follows naturally that he who loves the Father must love the Father's children as well.

Every truly regenerate person gains victory over the world's maxims and customs; this is no bare promise but a settled principle. Where the spirit of the world reigns supreme in the heart, there is no true religion.
