MOST IMPORTANT!
READ: Deuteronomy 6:1-10
MASTER, WHICH IS THE GREAT COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. :- Matthew 22:36-38
Why is your love for God something that we need to discuss? From the scriptures, the most important thing we need to do is to love God. It is our most important duty to God. If you love the Lord you are doing the main thing, the most important thing!
It is good that Jesus was asked the question, “What is the greatest commandment?” There are many commandments and instructions in the Bible. Should I pray? Should I fast? Should I witness? Should I teach the Word? Should I wait on God? The single most important commandment ever given by Jesus is to love God. That is why there are many things to be said about what you would do if you loved the Lord.
We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19
We love God because He first loved us. Love is not supposed to provoke silence, nonchalance, indifference, detachment and calmness in you. Love is supposed to spark a reaction of love from the recipient.
You are supposed to be more in love with God as you think about His love for you. Indeed, if you love the Lord, it is because you are responding well to God’s love. He loved you first! Respond properly and love Him back! Loving the Lord back is the right response to God’s awesome love.
Unfortunately, some people do not respond properly to the love shown them. Some people take it all for granted. Others react by being afraid. What about if you lose this love one day? Others react by accusing their lover. Others react to great love by being unfaithful and presuming on the forgiveness of their partners. Yet still, there are others who repay your love with evil.
