1 John 2:5
1 John 2:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
1 John 2:4-6 The Message (MSG)
If someone claims, “I know him well!” but doesn’t keep his commandments, he’s obviously a liar. His life doesn’t match his words. But the one who keeps God’s word is the person in whom we see God’s mature love. This is the only way to be sure we’re in God. Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
