All who believe that Jesus exists the Christ, begotten of God, and all who love the begotten love his begotten.*
The word believing here is pisteuō which has the root word faith, which speaks of divine persuasion and power. Believing, Jesus said, is the work of God, one must consider his words, be persuaded that he came from the Father, and know is the Holy one and his words exist eternal life. Also the Spirit must grant or draw him to come. Paul writes Jesus is the author and perfecter of faith.* One can't believe on their own accord, it is the work of God. When someone believes as Paul writes he is sealed or marked with the Holy Spirit.* John writes, the one who believes is born or begotten of God.
All who believe that Jesus exists the Christ, is begotten of God...*
Begotten is from γέννα (génna) + -ᾰ́ω (-áō), poetic form of γένος (génos, “offspring”), causal counterpart of γίγνομαι (gígnomai, “to be born”).* Begotten has the root word meaning offspring, family, race, nation, kind.* And this is the promise of inheritance, an heir, what the scriptures speak of a people of his own. This the shadow of the old testament pointed to, in Christ.* Chosen by grace, adopted as his own, a royal priesthood, a people of his own possession, so that we are praise of the One bringing us out of the wilderness calling us into the marvelous Light.* We are his people and more, we are his own, begotten of God.
I tell you in truth, so be it, unless a person is begotten from above, not of the kingdom of God.*
Jesus said, one must be begotten, born from a higher place, to enter the kingdom of God. This is a new birth, not of a earthly, fleshy, birth, but of the Spirit.* This is what it means to be a new creation in Christ. This fits with what Paul writes that we are his righteousness and it is as Peter writes we are partakers of his divine nature.* This is just a little bit of what it means to be begotten; a new creation, born of Spirit, born of God, a partaker of his divine nature. The one believing in Jesus is begotten by God.
Now, as many accepting him, to them giving the ability to become the children of God.*
This word for ability speaks of dominion, and we know Adam sold the inheritance for a piece of fruit, losing the dominion God had given man. But if you believe in Jesus, you are redeemed, delivered, dominion is restored, and more you are begotten of God. The nature of God is righteousness, so those begotten of God are righteous. We call this righteousness in Christ, because when we believe we are justified, redeemed, and forgiven through his blood. It is not by our works, thus we are righteous by faith according to grace. Even more we are righteous because we are begotten of God, as righteousness is His divine nature and those begotten partake of his nature.
Beloved, love one another, as love exists from God and all loving, begotten of God and know God. The one not loving doesn't know God as God exists love.*
Hopefully in the concept of begotten we see what it means to love the least of these His brethren. Those begotten love his begotten. Also that we understand the meaning of truth in love, which is to be perfected in love, and related to faith energized in love. His nature is righteous and agape love, as God exists love.* God so loved the world that he did not condemn the world but sent his only begotten Son to save the world.* Jesus was the only begotten of the Father and to those who receive him he gives the power to become children of God.* Those who believe and confess, who call upon his name will be saved, and begotten of God.
in this knowing that we love the children of God whenever we love God and keep his commandment.*
The ten commandments pointed to love, love God and your neighbor. They were given to God's people in the wilderness therefore the neighbor was the brethren, the children of God. I can obey rules and regulations in the name of God but if I do not love my brother, I am not begotten of god John writes. This hypocrisy Jesus accused the Pharisees of. The commandment here in context of John's writings is the new commandment, to love one another as Jesus loves us. It would be hypocrisy to be forgiven and loved so much only to turn around and not forgive nor love his brethren. In this is how we know we love his brethren because we love the begotten, Jesus, and we love his brethren thus we keep his commandment.
... and all who love the begotten, love his begotten.*
Righteousness is to love his begotten. If we are born of God we know what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, and that Christ laid down his life for us. There is no greater love than someone would lay down their life for another. This is agape love, John writes, not that we loved God but that he loved us. We have testimony of this love as we are of his nature, we also exist as he does, of love. Therefore if we exist begotten of God then we love Jesus and we love his brethren, the least of these also begotten of God. We test the spirits through this truth, those born of God will love His brethren. Jesus was begotten of God and believing in Him we are begotten, his brethren. "All who love the begotten," Jesus, "love his begotten," his brethren.
