Seven characters that should be exercised in the life of a believer

Reading Portion: I John  ch 5:1 to 4
Seven characters that should be exercised in the life of a believer:
  1. Believe that Jesus is the Christ and is born of God (I John ch 5:1).He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself (I John ch 5:10)

  2. Every believer should love Him that begat him (I John ch 5:1).Every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God (I John ch 4:7).
  3. Every believer should love him who is begotten of Him (I John ch 5:1).Love your brother for He that loveth not his brother abideth in death( I John ch 3:14).Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another (I John ch 4:11). We should love one another, for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God (I John ch 4:7).
  4. Every believer should practice righteousness. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God (I John ch 3:10).
  5. A believer should not sin because whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (I John ch 3:9).
  6. A believer who is born of God overcometh the world. The victory of faith is overcoming the world (I John ch 5:4).
  7. A believer who is begotten of God  guards/keeps himself so that the wicked one may not touch him (I John ch 5:18).
