Love God is to serve Him.īecause we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, our salvation is not based on any type of works that we have done to earn it. He is first in rank, honors, power, authority, and glory – so we should put Him first in our lives.Īnd you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. God is the beginning and end of all things. We are to worship and praise His name because He is worthy, and by doing so, we acknowledge His sovereignty over us. We worship and praise God by giving Him thanks in every circumstance of our lives. You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. But because of the blood sacrifice of Christ, believers can accept His forgiveness when they fail and receive His help through the power He gives them so they will not fail again. Because of the sinful nature, believers repeatedly fall short of perfection in their relationship with God and are imperfectly obedient at times in some areas where they desire to live faithfully for Him. We have an inner sin nature that always keeps us from being as close to God as we want to be and would like to be. The believer will never be perfect in this life. We can show our love for God by obeying Him. Wash your hands, you sinners purify your hearts, for your loyalty, is divided between God and the world. We can show our love for God by spending time with Him.Ĭome close to God, and God will come close to you. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Love for God requires that we spend time getting to know Him to better understand what He wants for us.ĭear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. We also need to go to church, pray, be involved in Bible studies or small groups, and live our lives in a way that will honor Him. We show our love for Him by reading the Bible and trying to apply what we read. In order to love God, we have to know Him so that we can better understand what He wants for us. Let’s grow together!
