How to Know You Love God

Now if to love the Lord is to hate evil does not change the fact that lots of sin maybe very tempting and desirable.

Psalm 97:10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
