Loving the Lord First

Jesus replied, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
- Mt 22: 37-38

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
- 1 John 2: 15

Valentines is approaching. But also Easter.

|PIC1|God created man with love and this purpose of love has already been embedded in the life of all of us since the beginning of this world.

But only when our eyes are opened to our Heavenly Father through the precious blood of His Son Jesus, can we find our rest in His arms of love once again.

While we experience and respond to His love, our lives can change.

Therefore, Jesus said we should love the Lord your God first, only when we do this, only when this love overflows, our lives experience a true joy and happiness.

For love is the origin of life. and God the origin of love. Even Apostle John testified, "We love because he first loved us."

More important than anything else, TO KNOW GOD, and TO MAKE HIM KNOWN, becoming the children that He can take pride in...

...making every effort to Love God first...

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
- 1 John 4: 10

...just as He has loved us.
