15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (Titus 1:15-16).
Knowing God means there is a relationship, and therefore a common purpose. This common purpose should be manifested in the actions of believers. It is with our mouths that we confess, but it is in our actions that we ratify the confession. So it is not merely the profession by person of knowing God, but the actual reality of being known by God Himself that makes the profession valid. Words may point to a reality, but actions bring the reality into fruition.
