Love God

Evergreen Created Jun 20, 2026 · Updated Jun 20, 2026

Love God = the greatest commandment Jesus named: love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:37-38).

When a scribe asked which commandment was first, Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:5 - whole-person devotion, not a corner of the week. Heart (affections), soul (will and life), mind (thought), strength (effort). Under Free Grace, this is the first call on a life already saved by faith - love flowing from grace received, not love offered as payment for eternal life.

Extends Free Grace. Contradicts Don't Worry when worry replaces trust.
