5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.1 John 2:5-6
Tony Evans says, “Obedience rooted in love is the requirement for ongoing, developing, ever-deepening, fellowship with the Lord.” When we walk in His light, we see areas of disobedience in our lives and we begin the process of adjusting them in obedience to God. When we have fellowship with Jesus, we become more like Him through spending more time with Him. In order to grow in intimacy with God, we must obey Him. I would love to hear your thoughts.
