"If you love me, you will keep my commandments".

I express my love for God by keeping his commandments; trying to keep them; and seeking his help when I fall.

Good question.

The fact that GOD created us in HIS image should make us love GOD.

GOD sent HIS only begotten Son for us all to save us from eternal condemnation should make us Love GOD. John 3:16


GOD is LOVE and so HIS image in us should replicate Love.

A Loving Father HE is to us and so A Loving Son and Daughter we should be to our Heavenly Father.

May we receive Grace to Love GOD as we should and ought to, giving all the Glory to HIS Most Holy Name forever and ever IN JESUS NAME.

You show love to God by keeping His commandment and seizing every opportunity to express love to your fellow mankind no matter their race, tribe or ethnicity. God is love.
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by seguno2: 11:36am On Aug 21, 2016
I believe that Christ said that it is impossible to love God whom we do not see if we can't love our neighbors whom we see.
That is the pointer on how to love God.
Read Matthew 25: 33-40


33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

[size=14pt]We Must Stop Fooling Ourselves Pretending To Be Christians
[/size]
If the life of Jesus Christ does not reflect on our own lifestyles, then we are only fooling ourselves, because we cannot fool God.

I see multitudes of churchgoers, but not many of them are Christians.
We may fool the whole world, but we cannot fool Almighty God.
Why should we continue to live in conceit and deceit?
That is why there are more fake pastors than real ones and more false prophets than true ones.
And there are many wolves in sheep clothing in the midst of the flock.

Fools pretending to be Christians, but are full of scams and whims of avarice, caprice, malice and prejudice in the world.

Our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ clearly showed us the truth as written in the books of Matthew and John I have quoted below.

True and False Prophets

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

By keeping His commandments as simple as that.

If you claim to be a Christian and you indulge yourself in sin,even having evil thoughts against your neighbour then you are living in sin and your claim to love God is a lie.We as Christians have to learn to surrender our all to Him (words,thoughts and action) for only then will we begin to really understand what Christianity is all about.

Pay no heed to the false prophets of these days that speak so much on prosperity and wealth while they ignore Salvation which is meant to be the number one need of every soul.
Shalom.
which of His commandment have you kept?
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by Orikinla(m): 11:51am On Aug 21, 2016
We can only love Almighty God by loving our fellow humans 24/7.

[size=14pt]
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

A fool says in his heart that there is no God.

One of these 2 variables are possible. May be there is God. Maybe there is no God. The human mind can not understand and verify logically the existence of God.

If you assume there is God and you obey his commandment and love Him if you die and it happens that there is God, you're okay. If you die and it happens that there is no God after all, then you're still okay.

But if you assume in your mind that there is no God, and you display your foolishness openly and you die and there is God peren!

Your own don done be that! You will account for your foolishness.

Be wise. You have right to do anyhow and assume there is no God but if afterwards you realise there is God, they will show you this "reply" in heaven and hold you by it!

Nobody holy pass. We are all sinners and come short of the glory of God. But that is not to say some truly don't love God.

I rest my case

As Hard as people thinks it is but it's very simple.

The answer to your questions is simply love what God loves and Hates what God Hates.

And it start with sanctification [Holiness].

That's how I started and God Has Been Faithful.

Op asked a "how" question.

Op,

Keep God's commandments not for the sake of it, but for the sake of Obedience to God.

Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by Themandator: 12:10pm On Aug 21, 2016
I hope you have not reduced the meaning of the scripture to bread and butter.. Every bread and butter Christian ends up disappointed... Lord many seek thee and he said to the disciple,, those one are after bread and butter... No bread today and many left disappointed.

Feed my sheep with the word.. Take care of them via the word.... It is the word that empowers our spirit for exploit.. The entrance of the word is what gives light.. If a preacher is not espousing the mystery of the kingdom he doesn't love his congregation..

For to us Christians it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom and to them without it is just parable. The eyes of them have been blinded lest they receive the word and be free... If a preacher doesn't motivate to go after the word on your own he doesn't love you or he is not actually called.

The deep things belongs to God but the revealed ones belongs to us... When a man of God help reveals the deep things he. Loves you more than any one giving you food and money and flashing them on TV

Glory to glory wishes to you

How do you love what he loves and hate what he hates?

Murder? well God kills at will, so how do you cope with this?

Jealousy? he's the most jealous of all, so how do you do this?

Hot tempered, yes of course, the bible recorded how many times God acted in anger and later regretted.

Just too many.

So obey all commands in the word of God(bible). Thats how to love God.

Prayers are irrelevant if you don't do what God has commanded.

Gods attention is more on your actions in accordance with his commands and less in what you say to him in prayers.

He even said that the prayer of a sinner is like filthy rag before him.

In case you haven't seen a filthy rag before, visit an automobile (Mechanic) workshop.

That's d only tin to show you love Him... You can't love Him more than He loves you.
Study d life of Peter and John the beloved...
Peter loved God but John relied on God's love.
Just do His biddings. You don't have what it takes to love Him if He had not loved you first. So accepting His love for your life is what makes you different from those who have not accepted Him. Don't forget Grace also play a part on your acceptance of His love over your life..
