3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2
These words have struck me over and over again. If we are going to say that we belong to Christ we need to walk in the way he walked i.e. to live as he lived. God's love is perfected or made whole in us as we live this kind of life. Simple, but profound.
