How to Love God

Love God through a personal relationship with Him. It's all about love. Remember the greatest commandment of all. Jesus tells us, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength (Mark 12:30). 

Love God in response to His great love. God gave His only begotten Son as eternal proof of His love for us. You can testify with the apostle Paul in these words, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20). That's your relationship with God. It's all about love so amazing, so divine.

Love God after receiving the fulness of His love through the Holy Spirit. You experience the love of God through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit works in your heart, that you may be filled with the love of God in a personal way. For we know how God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love (Romans 5:5).

Love God through worship. You adore and praise Him for His great love. You surrender to His good will. You desire to please Him in the way we live. More than that, you love others because His love is in you. Jesus said, Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31). God loves others through us. We love God by loving others.
