1 John 2:1-6 ESV
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Knowing God manifests in our lives by living according to His word, by walking as He walked. When we obey God, His love in our lives is complete. His word is life and is transforming and this is the effect on lives abiding in His word.
Are we perfect in our walk? No. But we walk with the one who is perfect.
Jesus Christ is the word, the word of God.
