Loving God begins with understanding who He truly is - not just a good teacher, but God incarnate who reveals the Father's holiness, sovereignty, and perfect love. Many follow Jesus for incomplete reasons, just as the disciples did before fully recognizing His divinity. Genuine love for God develops through hungering for more of Him, responding with wholehearted devotion, abiding in His presence, and walking in obedience to His commands. This love isn't about earning God's favor but about a transformative relationship that changes everything we say, think, and do.
