Loving God
Materialism, philosophies, and worldly influence compete with our Christian minds. Whoever or whatever wins our minds wins our hearts.
Matthew 22:37 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.
If we are going to love God with all our hearts and minds, we must get to know Him. The better we know Him, the more we are going to love Him.
Loving God is not merely about feelings. A true love of God involves investigating who He is, how He is, and what He has said.
In the whole Bible we see life and the world the way God sees it. We see His might, power, judgement, mercy, grace, compassion, and love.
Loving God is filling our minds and concentrating on the truths revealed in Christ, and then living out, fleshing out, those truths in every day life.
