Loving God Wholeheartedly

If you want to become a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ, you must make your relationship with God your highest priority. A growing love relationship with God is paramount to everything else that happens in the Christian life. That’s why we were created, that’s why Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that’s why God is preparing an eternal home for us in heaven.

When Jesus was asked which is the most important commandment of all, He replied, “you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength” (Mark 12:30, NLTSE).

Do you have a personal relationship with God? If not, learn how to invite Him into your life today through His Son, Jesus Christ.

If you have begun your relationship with God, would you describe it as “intimate?” Are you growing closer to Him with every passing day? Is that your desire? Has that become your highest priority?
