Actually you dont, because you dont keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous
1 John 5:3
Nor do you know him,
1 john 2:
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
How do you know what I do or do not do.
First you do not keep His commandments.
Second, do you remember that I have the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ?
So in the eyes of Jesus Christ I keep them perfectly.
You are on your own righteousness so the verse you quote applies to you.
BTW, John who wrote what you just quoted twice worshipped an angel in Revelation (Rev 19:10 and 22:8). That is a sin so according to you John is not saved and a liar.
But I will let Paul defend both John and I.
Romans 8:33-39
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
