Deuteronomy 6:4-5–"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."
This is, in many ways, the very quintessence of Christianity. It represents the very core, the central teaching and commandment of Christ. There is such a tendency to conceive of Christianity as merely another religion full of rituals and dogma, but I submit that the real pivot, the essential hinge on which the whole of Christianity rests is a matter of love. In fact, the most important question that any person must ask is a simple but convicting one: do I love God?
It would seem that this is of utmost importance to God just as it should be for us too...
