If you are truly a new person ...

"Those born of God" (1 Jn. 5:1),

in other words, those who are born again, born anew, continue to live by faith.

They have evidence of living as new people.

This evidence consists of two things:

• Loving God, the one who gave birth to them (v. 1).
• Loving brothers and sisters who are also born of God.

These two things align with Jesus' twofold commandment:

• "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and
• "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mt. 22:37, 39).

In other words, the evidence of those born of God,

those who are reborn or regenerated Christians, living as new people,

is found in obeying Jesus' twofold commandment:

• Loving God and
• Loving brothers and sisters (neighbors).
