The major key point in chapter 5 is love. Jesus is the true messiah. This reveals fulfillment for his true believers. If you are a follower of God you are to obey the commandments. The people that sin towards one of God's people is just jealousy. When some wicked person comes up to you and is mean and all don't reject it just go along with it I think is what it's saying. Understand that they are not on the right path with God and that will soon hit them in the face later on in life. Faith is all that matters. By Christ's example you must overcome the world and not let the world overcome you! The spirit of God does not lie. Baptism represents holiness of his disciples and proves that the Lord is the Savior. Anyone who refuses to trust in the Lord must be dead in sin. The true believers must pray for the sinners and hope they come to find the true and righteous way. There are 2 types of people in the world. Those who belong to the holy one and those who belong to the wicked one (the devil). The people who believe in the Lord have a happy and have no worries because they give their worries to God. Those who have the wicked one living inside them will never overcome anything because they are being weighed down be sin.

If we believe in the son of God through faith the war is already won there is no battle to be fought Jesus already conquered death! If you do not agree you say God is a liar because he said this first!
There is only one unforgivable sin not believing that the son of God died so that you can have eternal life. If in your heart you believe this your sins are forgiven! But if you die with this sin in your heart it can not be forgiven!
Verse 21 is so important nothing at all is more important than God.

If we call God our father and if other believes are his children then they are our brothers and sisters and we are called to love them just as the fathers loves them. Yes just like a sibling can be hard but still is a sibling. We defeat this evil world by faith, and we are the only ones that can really win this battle! Yes we must not like the world overcome us- but we have to defeat it love it. God has testified on our behave and we have many witness and they gift of this is the live that we will receive in Heaven. John calls us to be confident of what we believe and that we have eternal life. We can know for sure by believing in God and LOVING OTHERS, LOVE GOD and LOVE OTHERS. So simple yet so hard. We need to pray for fellow believers who are sinning and struggling! I challenge you to just pray for those that you may see in your life like this. Love verse 21 as well Tanner- do not let anything take Gods place in your hearts!
