Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: ‘“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
When the Sadducees tried to trip Jesus up in the words of the law, they did not expect the answer He gave them – and answer we still need to live up to!
Our first commandment should be to love the Lord our God with everything we have, every part of our being and without limit.
This way we get to have a much closer relationship with Him than we could through ‘being a good Christian!’
God wants us to love Him, because He loved us first!
