Overview
God calls His people to love Him with all their heart, soul, and mind—a love that exceeds all other attachments and priorities. This love is not merely emotional but involves commitment, obedience, and delight in God's presence. Throughout Scripture, believers are depicted as a covenant people whose love for God mirrors His faithful love toward them.
