Love God....

Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind..." Luke 10:27.

Wow, what does loving God with that passion look like?

The first four commandments give us some insight.
-You shall have no other gods before him (God).
-Do not make an idol out of anything. Worship no one or no thing but God.
-Do not misuse God's name.
-Remember the sabbath and keep it holy.
All from Exodus chapter 20.

Jesus and the New Testament scripture give us more insight on what loving God looks like in the following verses.
-"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me ..."(words of Jesus; John 14:21).
-This is love for God: to obey his commands (1 John 5:3).
-"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me... "(words of Jesus; Matthew 10:37).
-For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).

So, we are called to be obedient to all the commands of Christ, to put God above all things (even our families) and to live for Him (not for ourselves).
