What are the results of being born of God?

According to 1 John, the results of being born of God are profoundly transformative. Born-again believers practice righteousness (1 John 2:29), indicating the change in their nature that compels them towards holiness and goodness. Additionally, they exhibit a genuine love for one another, as love is a defining characteristic of God’s children (1 John 4:7). Furthermore, through faith, they overcome the world (1 John 5:4), demonstrating victory over sin and the enticements of the world. Their identity as children of God leads to a life that reflects the love and righteousness of Christ.
