How do we know if we are truly following Christ's commandments?

In 1 John 2:3-10, the Apostle John asserts that the evidence of knowing Christ is revealed through our actions, particularly in our love for fellow believers. John emphasizes that claiming to know Christ without loving others is contradictory. Those who love their brothers abide in the light, indicating genuine faith and a transformed life. This love is not merely a feeling but is evidenced by tangible actions, thus demonstrating that true knowledge of Christ leads to a life characterized by love, obedience, and commitment to one another within the faith community. This reflects the essence of New Covenant living, where love fulfills the law.
