Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

"Now, people of Israel, listen to what the LORD your God demands of you: Worship the LORD and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart,

The LORD your God will give you and your descendants obedient hearts, so that you will love him with all your heart, and you will continue to live in that land.

Jesus replied, "The most important one is this: 'Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

And you must love God with all your heart and with all your mind and with all your strength; and you must love your neighbor as you love yourself. It is more important to obey these two commandments than to offer on the altar animals and other sacrifices to God."

The man answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind'; and 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' "

And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it.

"This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds."

And then he says, "I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer."

This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.

because every child of God is able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our faith.
