The truth is not in those who do not keep God's commandments
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
If we do not keep the law of love that our Savior has given to us from before the beginning of the world, if we do not LOVE as God would have us love then we have NO truth in us, we are liars when we call ourselves followers of God, children of God.
Liars.
This is the end for liars…
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
The father of liars is the devil…
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Speaking untruths. We do this as if it is of no consequence whatsoever. Lying to protect ourselves from shame, from hurt, from pain, from want, etc. The next time we find a lie upon our lips may the Holy Spirit give us a conviction of the evil of that lie.
Too many people lie and think it is nothing. Our television shows are filled with advocates for lying, making the humorous sitcoms desensitize those viewing the shows. Lying is funny, lying is good, lying is laughable, every body lies all the time, if we didn't lie we be guilty of hurting others unnecessarily. There is a whole slew of reasons for lying and yet none of them will spare the liar, not one.
If we lie we are sinning and there is NO truth in us. We HAVE to confess and forsake our sins. Every lie we utter demands that we beg God to forgive us for the wrong, not excuse us. We can't excuse sin, that is a great deception of Satan's, he wants us to make excuses for our lies, our lying, rather than see the necessity of seeking forgiveness for doing so. If he can make lying seemingly sinless then he's controlling us and MANY will be controlled without their even knowing it because HE is a deceiver! He's not going to advertise that he's controlling you, he's going to hide it so that YOU cannot seek forgiveness from OUR SAVIOR.
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
If we do not KEEP- if we do not LIVE the commandments- if the commandments of our GOD are not alive in our every day life then we are LIARS when we say we are Gods!
If we want to know that we KNOW God we can know if we KEEP HIS commandments.
If we say we are God's and we DO NOT keep His commandments then we are LIARS.
We can know, we aren't told to follow God blindly. We are not told to know God and then left without the ability to do so. We are given all the knowledge of God we need. We are given a way of life in HIM to follow and we choose the path to follow and know Him or not.
There is NO ONE who will be able to say they had no idea what God wanted of them, not one person.
