Obey!
1john2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4The man who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
OBedience to God is very important.Because it says we will come to kNOW Him if we obey His commands. Therefore, those who Do NOT obey Him, doesn't know God. and by Know, i'm talking about intimately know.
I guess i went back to basics for a while, Truly repenting from my sins. Because sometimes we take God's grace for granted, assuming if we sin, and do good works, it will cover up. But that's not it! Even Christians have to repent from sins, because that's how we remain holy and blameless!
Justifying our sinful actions Are Even Worse!!!Because then we become deceived!
Stealing something of very little worth, and justifying it's nothing-is still a Sin to God!
Those who say 'i know him' but yet do not obey, need to repent now and turn to the right direction.The Word of God is absolute, it has authority.
We Have to Understand the Authority God has! disobeying it is like disobeying a king-only much worse! Because i'm talking about Eternity here, not aBOut earthly life!

A Pack
1peter5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of suffering
In a battle between a lion and wolf, the wolf would have a pretty hard time. So looking into this situation, the wolf represents someone who is suffering, and the lion is here to devour him. grouping with his fellow brothers however, would give them an advantage! a lion can't take down a pack of wolves!Well, definitely not without difficulty.
So thats what unity can do for us! We are a pack, not a singular individual! So remembering our fellow brothers and sisters suffering the same way will give us that support we need to work as a pack.
