And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 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. – 1 John 2:3-4 (NLT)
PROOF THAT WE KNOW GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know your Savior Jesus Christ?
Have you vowed to commit to him your life?
How can one claim that he knows his Redeemer?
Is it only by saying that you love him to one another?
We can be sure that we know him if we obey him
If someone claims he knows God and live in sin
That person is a liar and is not living in the truth
Not anything he does will bring about the Spirit’s fruit.

How can you know if a person really loves you? If he was a man, he would probably propose to marry the woman he is after. If he was the woman, she would accept that proposal for marriage. Before they tie the knot, they usually find enough proofs that the two of them will be able to trust each other and stay together for life. No one really think of marrying and plan to divorce right away unless they have evil schemes.
The bible tells us that the proof that we know God is by following his commandments. Obedience to his will is evidence of our faithfulness.
PRAYER
Lord, grant me the grace to always obey you.
REFLECTION
Why should action accompany any vow for faithfulness?
