Mark 12:29-31(NKJV)
Jesus answered
him, “The first of
all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God,
the Lord is one.
And you shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
And the second,
like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these.”
So the number 1
commandment according to Jesus is to love God with all that we have. Love God with all our heart, all our soul,
all our mind, and all of our strength.
So here is my
question. Can you love God without
loving Jesus? I believe the answer is
no. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are
the three parts of the trinity. God
tells us this through His Word. I don't
believe a person can just love one of the three in the Trinity. My reasoning is that if you claim to love God
but you reject Jesus and the Holy Spirit then you are essentially calling God a
liar. In my mind that isn't loving God
with everything you have.
When I was a little girl (Jewish girl), I loved God with all my heart, but I didn't meet Jesus until I was 30.
