Do we really know Him? How is that measured?

What is the biblical measurement to define we know God? How do we measure whether we are better being acquainted with the Lord? Is it our emotions towards Him? Is it how loud we can shout His Name? Let me ask you brethren, how would I know if you know God? How would I know you are growing in His Grace? I cannot see your heart but I can see your fruit. What fruit am I looking for? The answer is the same as the biblical definition of LOVING GOD. 

Is the biblical definition of Loving God an emotion or thought? Why are we always trying to define things through our eyes and our perception when God has it written down in black and white. 

The answer my brethren is a core message that has been echoed throughout biblical history the duty of man. Our actions defines our belief and who we are. 

1 John 2:3-6 (AMP) And this is how we may discern [[a]daily, by experience] that we are coming to KNOW Him [to perceive, recognize, understand, and become better acquainted with Him]: IF WE KEEP (bear in mind, observe, practice) His teachings (precepts, commandments).4Whoever says, I know Him [I perceive, recognize, understand, and am acquainted with Him] but fails to keep and obey His commandments (teachings) is a liar, and the Truth [[b]of the Gospel] is not in him. 5 But he who keeps (treasures) His Word [who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety], truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected (completed, reached maturity). By this we may perceive (know, recognize, and be sure) that we are in Him: 6 Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.  

John 14:21 (AMP) The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]

Ecclesiastes 12:13 (AMP) All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is] and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, for this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God's providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] and the whole [duty] for every man.


When we meet the Lord, He will not measure our Love, how much we know Him, or  how much we are acquainted with HIM based on how emotional, intelligence, how loud we were for Him, or how dogmatic we were for doctrines or denominations. 

You will be judged on how you had kept His commandments and Word. Do NOT be deceived you must FULLY follow all of His ways. If we truly believe in HIM, we are His keepers of His Word without compromise because He is the WORD!
