Mark 12:28-31 28And one of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?" 29Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; 30and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

2 | What does it mean to "love" God? | Mark 12:28 | inmyheart | 70761 | ||
Greetings, God tells us in the First Commandment we are to "...love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." ( Matthew 22:37) What specifically does this mean? I believe loving God (agapao) includes three specific things: 1) To choose continually to obey God's Word (His Will) and not our own thoughts and emotions that are usually prompting us to go the opposite direction. 2) To choose continually to trust God's Power (His Ability) to perform His Will in our lives and not our own natural ability. 3) And lastly, to love God means to choose continually to worship and serve Him only, by following, cleaving and so binding ourselves with Him that we become one. (We "exchange lives" with Him. We give Him ours; He, then, gives us His.) God bless |
