Don't be fooled by the deception of this world says the Lord. For I am here alive
1 John 5:4 NKJV
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith.
Eight blessings of the new birth in 1John:
1. Power to do righteousness (1 Jn 2:29) 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
2. Actual sonship 1 John 3:1–3 (NKJV)
3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
3. Freedom from sin (1 John 2:1–2 (TPT)
Christ, Our Answer for Sin
2 You are my dear children, and I write these things to you so that you won’t sin. But if anyone does sin, we continually have a forgiving Redeemer who is face-to-face with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
4. Love for the brethren (1Jn. 4:7-8; 3:14-18; 5:1)
5. Love for God (1Jn. 4:19; 5:1-3)
6. Power to keep the New Testament commandments (1Jn. 5:2-3; Jn. 1:12; 14:15; 15:14)
7. Power to overcome the world (1Jn. 5:4-5)
8. Freedom from Satan (1Jn. 5:18)
Dake's Annotated Reference Bible.
5:4 Overcome the world, even our faith. The faith that allows God’s people to overcome the world’s corrupt influences and its fierce opposition to God’s people is a faith that looks beyond natural appearances and sees eternal realities (see Heb 11:1, note). It is a faith that experiences God’s power and loves Christ to such an extent that the world’s sinful pleasures, misguided values, ungodly ways and selfish materialism lose their appeal. Instead, we are repulsed by these things and grieved at the destruction that sin and worldly ideals cause in people’s lives (see Rev 2:7, note).

Romans 10:9-10 NKJV
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
John 3:5-7 NKJV
Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
Romans 8:19 NKJV
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
