If we really know truth, we really know God who is Truth. Maybe the reason we sin is that we can’t completely know God with our limited minds. However, knowledge is a gift of the Holy Spirit, which the Catechism of the Catholic Church defines as a “permanent disposition that makes us docile to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit.”
My interpretation of this is: The Holy Spirit gives us His gifts in baptism. They are increased in confirmation. Knowledge is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It makes us want to hear and do what the Holy Spirit says we should do. If we do what the Holy Spirit says we should do we will love God; and we will love our neighbors. If we love God and our neighbors perfectly we will not sin.

I agree.Perfect love is a aim.That mean that we need to work on our lovefor God and neighbors. First step in that work can be teaching from Jesus,how he loved people.If we really know truth, we really know God who is Truth.

We learn how to love as Jesus loves by reading about Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible. Do you have any other ideas where we can learn to love as Jesus loves?

Absolutely, as knowledge aids the will in being good. But having the knowledge is not the same thing as doing the good. Many (most?) people know better than to commit the sins they commit, but we are weak-willed. Along with working on knowledge, we must pray that God gives us the grace we need to resist temptation.If we really know what is truth, we will not unclean our soul with sins.

If you love Me you will keep my commands. As well as knowing Jesus we must show our love by obeying His commands. Right?
