How to Follow Jesus?

Step 6: Love Him

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30.

How do I love God? With my entire mind. When I love God, I protect what I place in my Mind.

My Soul will be steadfast and loyal and always persevering. Not giving up.

Note: First, loving God requires knowing Him, and that knowledge begins with His Word. To know Him is to love Him. To love God is to worship and praise Him. 

It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. 

To love God is to put Him first. It’s an undivided love. God is our priority. If we love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, then we won’t allow other things to crowd in. 

Our love for God is manifested by loving people, but we do not love the things of the world. Earth has nothing to be desired.  

Its God that we desired.  We cannot love this present world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15); love for what the world offers can lead us astray (2 Timothy 4:10). 

To love God is to desire Him, to yearn for His righteousness, His Word, and His grace.
