56 Questions: Question 2 - God’s love
Note: We only get to the second question before realizing that the questionnaire has not 56 questions as numbered, but actually 86 questions, because many questions have multiple parts. I’ll be treating these as single questions with my response…because 56 is plenty, thankyouverymuch.
2. What does it mean for a person to love God? In what ways do you see true biblical love toward God demonstrated in your life? Do you see true biblical love toward God in the lives of your wife and each of your children?
Loving God is relating to God personally through faith in Christ. Love for God is expressed in obedience to him and worshipping him in spirit and truth (John 4:24; 14:15). I am able to love God only because he loved me first and best through Jesus (1 John 3:16). I love God by falling headlong into his grace, realizing that there is nothing good in me apart from him (Ps. 16:2). My love for God is expressed by worshipping him with the wholeness of my life, by serving others to bring renown to him, and by pursuing the best that he’s prepared for me. As, for the third part of the question…yes.
