1 John 2:3-6 says: And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
This passage is very encouraging to me. Sometimes I feel discouraged by not "feeling" as enthusiastic as I'd like to about my walk with God. But the Bible says that if I keep God's law, in me truly is the love of God perfected. Of course, this isn't to say I shouldn't strive for a more and more exciting relationship with God, but it's encouraging nonetheless!
