Eric and Gabe dive into a conversation on the first and greatest commandment, which is loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. They touch on the key to loving God and how we were created to love and be loved by God. 1 John 4:19 says that we love because He first loved us. Without an understanding of who God is and His affections for me, we cannot love God. Loving God starts with knowing God. When the fire of His love touches us, it causes us to love God. Love for God does not originate with our emotions, thoughts, feelings, or good-will like it might for a spouse, friend, or relative. Love for God originates from God, who is love.
