The word “love” has several meanings and, as such, can be applied to different situations. For example, there is the kind of love between a mother and her child, between friends, the romantic love between a man and a woman, etc. When we talk about the great love that Jesus referred to, some Scripture references translate it as “steadfast love.” It ...
We need to admit our inability to fulfill the great commandment of loving God by ourselves. The sinful nature of human beings makes it impossible for any of us to love like that. We depend on God to be able to love because He is love (1 John 4:8). We can only love Him because he loved us first (1 John 4:19). Love is part of the fruit of the Spirit ...
Jesus’s words from the good answer He gave to the scribe about the great commandment are a quote from Deuteronomy 6:4-5. It starts by telling us to love God with our whole hearts. Our contemporary culture understands the “heart” as the center of emotions, but the Jewish culture in Jesus’s times understood it as more than that. For them, the heart o...
God’s Word also tells us to love our Heavenly Father with our whole soul. The Hebrew word for “soul” gives the idea of the breath of life. The Greek word gives a more global idea of the inner self, the individual, the mind (in the sense of our deep thoughts). We can say that it is the non-physical part of the human being (Psalm 16:10; Ezekiel 18:4)...
God’s people must also love Him with their whole minds. The biblical meaning of “mind” is the intellect. The original Hebrew text of Deuteronomy 6:4-5 doesn’t include “mind,” it was considered by the Jewish culture as part of the soul. This part of the great commandment shows how important it is that our intelligence is submitted to God and finds s...
Jesus Christ also told us to love our God with our whole strength. We find the word “strength” in the Bible a lot of times, and most of them refer to the power of God. Strength refers to the physical aspect of loving God. It is how we show that we love Him and do everything we can to put our love for God into action. If our inner motivation and des...
Christ Jesus told His disciples that anyone who wants to follow Him must love Him more than everything and everyone else (Matthew 10:37; Luke 14:26). It doesn’t mean that we won’t love other people, on the contrary. Only by loving Him can we truly love others. But if we love something or someone more than God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), it is i...
We must keep in mind that biblical love is not only about feelings. When we read how God expressed His love for us in the well-known verse of John 3:16, we see that God did something for us – He gave His Son to die for us so we could have eternal life. There is no greater love than that (John 15:13). So, when we love someone, we do something about ...
In a short definition, we can say that loving God is to obey His commandments (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3). The Lord Jesus questioned the people who called Him “Lord” but didn’t do what He had told them to do (Luke 6:46). If He is the Lord of our lives, it means that He has ultimate authority over us, so we do what He tells us to do. It is simple, but ...
When Jesus said that we must love God with our whole being, He added that we must love our neighbor as we love ourselves (Mark 12:31, quoting from Leviticus 19:18). The apostle Paul wrote that this commandment fulfills the whole Law of God from the Old Testament (Galatians 5:14). God shows grace and expresses His love for the creation by giving goo...

Jan 2, 2023 · Paul’s prayer finds its pinnacle here: “I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:17–19, NIV).
