1 John 2:3-6 (NLT)
3 And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him.6 Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
If we love God and are living according to the truth of God’s word, our lives will show this love – revealed by the actions we take.
Jesus is the example: live as Jesus lived, and love as Jesus loved!
