2 Timothy 2 You are His, sin no more!

19Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

When Paul had written this letter, great buildings were build with a seal, a cornerstone bearing an inscription of the builder, date and name. Likewise when Gods church in Jesus Christ was built, Jesus became the cornerstone.
1 Peter 2: Berean Literal Bible
6 Therefore it is contained in Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone; and the one believing on Him, shall not be put to shame." 7 To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."

 “The Lord knows those who are His,”
1 Corinthians 8:3 But whoever loves God is known by God.
Like a child that loves his or her parents. Don't the parents love their own child? There may be exceptions to this law of nature but know this, God does not lie and Jesus said when we believe and accept Him we become the adopted children of God.
Galatians 3:26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
Ephesians 1:5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will--
Yes, The Lord knows you are His, and loves you!

 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
YOU must turn from sin! Jesus told the prostitute: John 8:11 "No one, Lord," she answered. "Neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Now go and sin no more."

You are His, sin no more!

Blessings, David
