1 John 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.<\/p>\n

The word of God is such an incredible resource for each of us.<\/p>\n

It instructs us, guides us and teaches us everything we need to know to walk faithfully with our God.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is soft and subtle. Sometimes it is bold and direct.<\/p>\n

The scripture above is rather direct in its inference, proclaiming that if we know God, we will keep His commandments.<\/p>\n

This is something that we need to pay close attention to, not in a condemning way, but in a way that causes each of us to check ourselves and take inventory of where we are in our walk with God.<\/p>\n

Many may read this and think immediately of the Ten Commandments, and its list of what to do and not to do.<\/p>\n

While it is true that every human being should adhere to the Ten Commandments, the verse above is taking it one step further, referring to more than just adherence to a list.<\/p>\n

Instead, it is urging us to follow God\u2019s word as closely as possible, so our lives will be modeled after Christ and the example He set while He was here on earth.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to be done out of ritual or tradition, or just because we think it\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s done out of loyalty and reverence for our God, that we would demonstrate our love and commitment to Him in every aspect of our lives.<\/p>\n

Our obedience to God proves that we have a true, living relationship with Him.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t for show or status among fellow believers. It\u2019s about who we are when nobody<\/em> is watching us, which says more about our integrity as a follower of Christ and our faith in God than anything we do before the eyes of man.<\/p>\n
