• Loving God: “You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your strength.” (Deuteronomy
6:7) Loving God is the first and greatest commandment.
Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
(John 14:15) Love then is the greatest motivator
for obedience to Christ and accomplishing His
purposes. The ministry believes we must love
Christ with all our being first and then the
expression of our love for God, which is obedience
to the commandments will follow. If love doesn’t
come first, legalism (leading to death), will
soon follow. If love does come first, we will
keep the greatest commandments without a mark
or scent of legalism. Love leads and compels
but legalism drives and gives no life to its
followers. Love beckons us to greater holiness
and purity because we desire more intimacy with
the One who has given His only begotten Son,
so that we might have eternal life with Him.
