Jesus is not about how you feel about him today. We know if we know him by looking at the fruit of our lives. We know that we know Jesus if we are striving to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. We know that we know Jesus if we have soft hearts that are listening to what he says and not rejecting his words with hard hearts. knowing Jesus means striving to obey Jesus.
We cannot know Jesus and not be striving to live in the light. We cannot have Jesus as our advocate who is interceding for us for our sins and not have the love of God maturing in us to desire obedience. The transformation is to move from knowing that we have to obey to him to wanting to obey him. We want to follow him because he is our advocate. We want to listen to him because we know we need cleansing. We want to serve him because of who he is and what he has done for us.
If you know Jesus, then this will be your heart’s desire and you will keep his word.
