Contextual Overview

3This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commands. 3 And hereby wee doe knowe that we know him, if we keepe his commandements. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 3 We can be sure that we know God if we obey his commands. 3 I write this, dear children, to guide you out of sin. But if anyone does sin, we have a Priest-Friend in the presence of the Father: Jesus Christ, righteous Jesus. When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good—not only ours, but the whole world's. Here's how we can be sure that we know God in the right way: Keep his commandments. 3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 3 When we obey God, we are sure that we know him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He that saith I know him,.... God or Christ, as the Gnostics did, who pretended to great, even perfect, knowledge of divine things:

and keepeth not his commandments; which the above persons had no regard to, and as many who profess great light and knowledge in our days show no concern for:

is a liar; he contradicts what he says, and gives the lie to it; for though in words he professes to know God, in works he denies him, and which betrays his ignorance of him:

and the truth is not in him; there is no true knowledge of God and Christ in him; nor is the truth of the Gospel in his heart, however it may be in his head; nor is the truth of grace in him, for each of these lead persons to obedience. The Ethiopic version renders it, "the truth of God is not with him"; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He that saith, I know Him - He who professes to be acquainted with the Saviour, or who professes to be a Christian.

And keepeth not his commandments - What he has appointed to be observed by his people; that is, he who does not obey him.

Is a liar - Makes a false profession; professes to have that which he really has not. Such a profession is a falsehood, because there can be no true religion where one does not obey the law of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 John 2:4. He that saith, I know him — This is a severe blow against those false teachers, and against all pretenders to religious knowledge, who live under the power of their sins; and against all Antinomians, and false boasters in the righteousness of Christ as a covering for their personal unholiness. They are all liars, and no truth of God is in them.
