1 John 2:5

5 But if anyone obeys God's word, then God's love is truly made complete in that person. Here is how we know we belong to him.

1 John 2:5 In-Context

3 We know that we have come to know God if we obey his commands.
4 Suppose someone says, "I know him." But suppose that person does not do what God commands. Then that person is a liar and is not telling the truth.
5 But if anyone obeys God's word, then God's love is truly made complete in that person. Here is how we know we belong to him.
6 Those who claim to belong to him must live just as Jesus did.
7 Dear friends, I'm not writing you a new command. Instead, I'm writing one you have heard before. You have had it since the beginning.
