“We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them.”

I sometimes talk to people who are concerned their lack of formal training in theology will hinder their spiritual growth. I love learning, and I enjoy discussing theology. But some of the saddest and most frustrated people in religious circles are the ones who put their life’s efforts toward pondering things like, “just how big a camel can be and still fit through the eye of a needle” (Matthew 19:24). John says you can show your understanding of God’s Kingdom and your love for Him simply by being obedient to what you do understand. That means living a faithful, authentic Christian life in front of your family, friends, and neighbors. It means telling what Jesus has done for you. It means demonstrating Jesus’ love for people in the routines of your days. Do those things, and your love for God will be made complete.
