True Knowledge is in Keeping His Commandments

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.  (1John 2:4)

  

Liars face a terrible end in judgment (Rev 21:8). What is worst than being deceived is self-deception. Our glorious destiny is independent on if we know Him, but rather if He knows us (Matt 7:23). There is so much emphasis on the love of God in the antinomian gospel, however it is in keeping His commandments that the love of God is made complete and full in us (1 John 2:5).

  

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  (John 14:6)

The way to salvation is only one; the path of salvation is based on truth. Without truth we are liars and sons of the father of it (John 8:44). Therefore we can be either abide in truth or abide in lies. Truth is precise, not gray but black or white. Truth is a sword that divides that which is self centered and that which is of the Spirit. Truth stands the test of time. Truth is neither a philosophy nor ideology. Truth brings life. Truth is Jesus Christ.

To obey is to love God. We do not obey to be loved by God. Obedience is bringing into reality His promises. Not obeying so that we can receive His promises. Obedience brings us into great knowledge. We do not know we if can walk until we start walking (John 5:9). God never contradicts, He reveals Himself through truth. Practice the truth and we will receive greater revelational light (1 John 1:6).
