2 John 1:9 ESV

Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

Actions speak louder than words. I believe in this verse, God wants us to check if a Christian by the way he acts. If he abides, respects and practices the teaching of Christ, he has God in his heart. If he does the contrary, he is not.

We can also evaluate ourselves the same. If we align and correct our own behavior according to the teaching of Christ, we have God in our heart. If we do the contrary, we better check ourselves.
