1 John 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
If we are struggling to keep God’s Commandments then we may well be focusing on other things in our lives; not it is not a cut and dry comparison.
The evil one will try to use everything in our lives to make us lose concentration and drift away from God. God wants us to think about Him always.
When we are thinking about God we will be more prone to follow what He has taught us rather than the world and all its trimmings.
Keep God in your heart and obey Him for a better life!
