Ademola121:
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
A fool will always say in his heart there is no God, but the wise will pronounce it with their mouth. Come to think of it, there are many Gods From various religious tales of which the bible god is one of them. If you believe in the bible god and reject other gods, how are you sure that the bible god is the true god? Because there is 0.0001 probability that the god you believe in is the true god (if at all there is any god). So at the end if it turns out that the god you believed in is not the true god, don't you see that your punishment will be higher than that of those that didn't believe at all? knowing fully well that tales that describes these gods depict them as being jealous.

Have you ever consider why God called David "a man after his heart" its because he knows how to praise him, and that is all wants from us. And that's how i express my Love for him. Praise God!

How to love God?

1. Obedience to His commandments/will - John 14:21

2. Leading a sacrificial life. Love is demonstrated by sacrifice. God will give you opportunities to sacrifice your time and resources to His cause.

3. Love for fellowmen and particularly for the household of faith.

It shall never be good for those so called men of God preaching that loving God is going to church,giving offerings and tithe to church in the name of God.According to Jesus,u are assured of making the kingdom of God b¥ living in love,helping and caring for others.If u love,u live in God's union,God is not reall¥ far from u,he lives in u and u in him.
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by Nasiruddeen(m): 1:58pm On Aug 21, 2016
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.[/quote]
is there any need for you to keep his commandments when Jesus has come and died for all your sin?

Is it right to worship Jesus? Is worshipping Him same as worshipping GOD?
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by liztemi(f): 2:50pm On Aug 21, 2016
The very first way is obedience to his instructions and words
This should come first even before wanting to serve in his vineyard
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by belcom10(m): 3:44pm On Aug 21, 2016
You can love God by keeping to his commandment and obeying his words. Simple as dat.
Mrdecent:
I have heard Christians, pastors most especially that one should love God by working in his vineyard and giving God his or her substance. my question is how do we love God as a Christian? happy Sunday.
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by Nobody: 4:14pm On Aug 21, 2016
Let all my thoughts words and actions glorify God. That's how I'd like to love God.
Re: As A Christian, How Do You Love God? by achorladey: 4:19pm On Aug 21, 2016
Matthew 22:37-39, 1 John 5:3 1 John 4:8 The only way to love God in summary. The above scriptures can be broaden when you pick Jesus christ, faithful men of old and Jesus Apostles and see how they effectively do this despite their own shortcomings, the worldly pressure around them during their own time.

You fear him.
Psalm 25:14, the secret of the Lord is with those that fear him.
His word also says, if thou love me, thou shall obey(fear) my command(word).

You can show your love for God in so many ways. Firstly by living a holy life and secondly by winning souls to his kingdom. May God help you

As a Christian after reading the Bible and you still claim you love God, you are nothing but a hypocrite. The Christian God is the biggest terrorist, murderer and sadist ever! You doubt me, take a look at your damn Bible. angry
The word love appeared in the bible some 600 times, even the God in the bible is described as love itself. 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.
There are two things here, is either you are talking out of ignorance or you are very very confident of what you are claiming..

If we are to put what the bible said in the above verse I quoted into perspective, what would you tell me? I guess your next words would be there is no God or the bible contradicts itself...

I believe you are learned and so are the millions who still choose to worship God despite this your assertion, unless there are things you know that makes you standout from the rest of humans who choose to believe, which I would really really love to hear, else I would take you comment with a pinch of salt.

SultanOfBrunei:
there is no need to waste my time trying to love someone whose existence is unverifiable.
there never is a factual evidence of the existence of an old white-man in the sky,
the only evidence is a story from a book written by another white man.

This is why the bible said it takes faith to believe in a God. People keep looking for signs or wonders from heavens or the sky to verify the existence of a God, but God in his infinite wisdom made it so, while you are waiting for great signs and concrete evidence to verify the existence of God, others who choose to believe his existence by looking intently into the pages of the bible and appreciating the wonders of creation around us.

God doesn't force us to believe out of his wisdom, just imagine the level of loyalty if he was performing great signs and wonders! Everyone would be forced to acknowledge Him, but He is looking for those who would be loyal even without great signs and wonders! The benefits are endless.

Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

1Timothy 2:3 This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, 4 whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

Yes I do love God, but because I am God myself and there is not other God but me and you. And acknowledge the predominant God of the human race


Don't let religion decieve you. We are the Gods.
Hmm, men with far more grandeur than you have made even worse claim, and what was their end? Mere DEATH. We tend to be humble when that sad reality reaches us, no matter how smart, intelligent and God like you claim to be, like the rest who feel they are Gods themselves, you must answer the call of nature as well, in that state of near death, despite your deepest feelings not to be succumbed by it, you cant escape it, millions have searched in vain for a cure to this menace, what has being their outcome? History itself tells us, the earth is believed to be millions of years old and some even say the human race has no beginning, BUT no one of the billions who lived on the surface of this earth has being able to cheat death despite their biggest wish.

Look what the maker said about death:
1 Corithians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Hebrew 2:15 and that he might set free all those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death.

God or no God, we all, all humanity are slaves to death and the true God is the only one who can change that not any of us who are mere dust.. Ecclesiates3:20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust.

Death is the opposite of life.

They work hand in hand.

So no disturb or try to harass me.

This is why it is good to discuss with others, It just came to my notice why you choose to believ you are a God yourself. Sorry if you feel am harassing you, they say no man is an inland of knowledge.
But if I go by the picture you posted, you came to you conclusion that you are a god yourself because of the number of gods you see around you.
That doesn't prove there is no God, it instead proves that humans has that imbued desire to worship something greater. Carefully examining the secret and teachings of all the gods would aid you to know why people worship them. But note what the God found in the bible said: 1Corinthians8:5 For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” 6 there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.

It is not strange that you think this way actually, cos even the God of the bible said it would be that way: 2Peter3:3&4:First of all know this, that in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation’s beginning.”
