1 John 2:3-6

3 We can be sure that we know God if we obey his commands.
4 Anyone who says, "I know God," but does not obey God's commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
5 But if someone obeys God's teaching, then in that person God's love has truly reached its goal. This is how we can be sure we are living in God:
6 Whoever says that he lives in God must live as Jesus lived.
