1 John 2:3-5 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.
John, the beloved and loving Apostle, uses a very gentle, yet straightforward approach in his challenge. His soothing voice speaks sharp words of conviction. When what we SAY does not line up with what we DO, we lie - not on the couch, but to ourselves and those around us. Obedience is the love language of God. Christ demonstrated that: loving obedience to the Father. It was His walk, His way of living life. As His followers, should we seek any less???
