1 John 2:5 (NKJV) 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
People may question their relationship or their salvation at times. But if we pay attention to what this verse is saying, we will know the answer to where we stand with God.
Whoever keeps His word. What does it mean to keep His word?
It simply means we obey Him and do our best to follow Him in everything we do.
Sometimes it will be easy for us, because our flesh will go along with the right thing to do. But, other times our flesh will not like what the Spirit of God is convicting us of and it will buck or rebel against it.
If we truly love God, our Spirit man will rise up and do the right thing. We will follow His convictions and do what He is asking us to do, in spite of our feelings.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Our love toward Him will cause us to want to obey and be loyal in our hearts and minds, and to want to do His will.
