Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked. (1 John 2:3-6, NRSV)
What commandments are we supposed to follow? Because those who says they know God should follow His commandments. But what commandments are they? Is this the 10 Commandments?
Or is it simply the 2 that Jesus gave? Love God and love neighbor?
You see Jesus summed up the law as love God and Love neighbor. If we do that we keep the commandments. It isn’t about following the law to the last little letter. It is about love.
Love.
