(John 13:34-35). When we love others, people will believe that Christians are true disciples of Christ, because He who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. Abiding in God’s love destroys fears of His punishment, because the relationship with God is supposedly perfect and cordial. EVALUATION <ol> <li>What does it mean to know God?</li> </ol>

It is to be declared guiltless or acquitted. Biblically, justification means getting into right relationship with God. According to Paul, the Jewish religious law in the Old Testament served the purpose of presenting side by side God’s holiness and man’s sinful nature, which constantly reminded man of his inability to keep the law. Thus, on his own or by his own effort, man cannot keep God’s law thereby removing that barrier between him and God. The law therefore only brought light to the sinful nature of man. Paul argues that a man is not justified by obeying or keeping the law but through the righteousness of God, now offered to all men who have faith in Christ whether Jew or Greek. He pointed out that man is naturally sinful, <em>"<strong>All have sin and fall short of the Glory of God</strong>",</em> hence the need for justification by faith in the atoning blood of Christ.
