How do we know faith in Jesus is the victory over the world?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Jesus, acknowledged in 1 John 5:5, is the means by which believers achieve victory over the world.

1 John 5:4 specifies that 'this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.' The text makes it clear that the act of believing that Jesus is the Son of God is central to gaining this victory. When a person places their trust in Jesus, they identify with His victory over sin and death, which empowers them to overcome worldly temptations and trials. This belief is not merely intellectual but involves relying on Christ's finished work for salvation and deliverance from the world’s influence.
