Overcome the world through faith
That is, believe that God loves you very much and will always have your best in mind through every temptation.
1 Jn 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world -our faith. 5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son. 10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. 11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
We must believe that Jesus, the Son of God, came by water i.e. that He was 100% human.
We must also believe that Jesus came by blood i.e. that He was a descendant of David i.e. He was Son of Man i.e. He was actually conceived from Mary’s egg and wasn’t egg and sperm from God.
We must also believe His testimony that God is our Father and that the Father loves us as He loved Jesus.
