Showing our faith

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God;but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Do we say we know God, or do we know him? Words are simply just words, but to know God we must obey God!


1John 2:3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 
1John 2:4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked

To say we know God is one thing, but to really know him we must obey him.

To say we love God is one thing, but to love God we must obey him!

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

I want to know him, because many are going to say Lord, Lord. But he is going to say to many depart from ye that work iniquity, I NEVER KNEW YOU.

If you believe in him, truly believe in him, then you will obey him. If you love him, you will obey him. If you know him, it will be because you obey him.

As much as false doctrine may not teach that one must make an effort to enter into the kingdom of God, if we are going to be saved we are going to have to strive to enter in. Its going take us showing our faith.

1John 3:24  And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

I dont want to just know of God, but I want to know God!
