Exactly what does it mean to believe in Him while not following His ways? Can one who doesn’t follow in His ways be really said to be a believer in Him? John answers here: “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.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬
