The Apostle John makes things simple, says Pastor Mat. If we do this, then we are that. He gives us a "litmus test" in 1 John 2 for whether or not we know God. We show we know God if.... We show we abide in Christ if... It's a call to remember that it is the eternal things that are important -- this world and all that is in it, is passing away. Do we know that we know God?
