Have you ever realized that from the beginning to the end of the Bible, the primary way that loving God is defined is by keeping His commandments? This makes all the sense in the world when we see that the word keep means “to treasure” and “to guard.” What are you treasuring in your heart? Because “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).
This is the foundational bedrock of the Christian life: God loves us. When we receive that love, it changes us. Our desire is that this study on the command of Christ Love the Lord will open your eyes to see the love of God for you. Receiving God’s love is the one thing that will ignite in us a desire to love Him back and then enable us to become channels of His love to others.
