“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.”‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:4-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because John says, “whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.” God wants the best for us. Jesus said He came to give us life to the full. How do we keep God’s Word? 1)Read the Bible 2)Spend time with God personally 3) Seek wise counsel. Pray over any counsel you receive to ensure its consistent with the whole Bible. Satan attempted to deceive even Jesus by misusing the Word of God, but Jesus answered him with the Word of God. If we do not know the Bible personally, we are setting ourselves up for deception. Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s purpose for our lives today and obey. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
