1 Juan 2:4

Listen to 1 Juan 2:4
4 El que afirma: «Lo conozco», pero no obedece sus mandamientos, es un mentiroso y no tiene la verdad.

1 Juan 2:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 John 2:4

He that saith I know him
God or Christ, as the Gnostics did, who pretended to great, even perfect, knowledge of divine things:

and keepeth not his commandments;
which the above persons had no regard to, and as many who profess great light and knowledge in our days show no concern for:

is a liar;
he contradicts what he says, and gives the lie to it; for though in words he professes to know God, in works he denies him, and which betrays his ignorance of him:

and the truth is not in him;
there is no true knowledge of God and Christ in him; nor is the truth of the Gospel in his heart, however it may be in his head; nor is the truth of grace in him, for each of these lead persons to obedience. The Ethiopic version renders it, "the truth of God is not with him"; (See Gill on 1 John 1:8).

1 Juan 2:4 In-Context

2 Él es el sacrificio por el perdón de nuestros pecados, y no solo por los nuestros sino por los de todo el mundo.
3 ¿Cómo sabemos si hemos llegado a conocer a Dios? Si obedecemos sus mandamientos.
4 El que afirma: «Lo conozco», pero no obedece sus mandamientos, es un mentiroso y no tiene la verdad.
5 En cambio, el amor de Dios se manifiesta plenamente en la vida del que obedece su palabra. De este modo sabemos que estamos unidos a él:
6 el que afirma que permanece en él, debe vivir como él vivió.
