In Luke 1:1 it says "...to write an orderly account... so you may know the certainty of the things that you have been taught." We must be in God's Word daily so that we may know God and thereby know love because the Word is God (John 1) and God is love. "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:8 "... God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:16 God Spirit lives in us when we love, so that we may know.
"...And he [John the Baptist] will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth" Luke 1:15. The filling of Christians with God's Spirit did not occur until Pentecost after Christ ascended. But here John the Baptist was filled so he could do God's will. So that people may know. " ...To turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." To become innocent and with the grace of a child.
