How you love God shows up in how you love people

Heat - How you feel towards others
Soul - How you commit to others
Mind - How you understand others
Loving God with your mind shapes how you think about people
Why Jesus says the second command depends on the first -
Loving others is not an extra command - it's the evidence
Love for God forms the heart
Love for others reveals it
Love you neighbor as yourself
Matthew 22:37-40 (NLT)
Psalms 139:14-16 (NLT)
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT)
Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
Zephaniah 3:17(NIV)
Reflection:
- Do I treat myself as someone made in God's Image - or as a problem to manage?
- Would my love for others be healthier if I extended some of that grace to myself?
- What would it look like to receive God's love personally, not just theoretically?
