The Bible affirms that believing Jesus is the Christ is essential for being born of God (1 John 5:1).
The Bible teaches that 'whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God' (1 John 5:1). This belief not only acknowledges Jesus' identity but also accepts His role as the anointed Prophet, Priest, and King as revealed in Scripture. To believe that Jesus is the Christ entails trusting in His prophetic declarations, His priestly atonement, and His sovereign reign over all creation. It is a vital aspect of true faith that ensures believers are genuinely born of God.
