There are many who claim to know God, but Jesus states that just b/c some claim Him that does not mean He will claim them. Matt 7:21:
"Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
How can you know if you really know God? How can you know if your faith in God is genuine? Many want to point to a prayer they prayed or the time they were baptized or the fact that they are a member of a church. While these are all grea things John shares in our text that God is looking for more than that from His children.
