Loving God

We are to love God with everything we are and have.
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. Mark 12:30

We love God because he loved us.
In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. I John 4:10

To love God is to obey God.
Whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. I John 2:5

To love God is to fear, serve and obey Him.
So now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? Only to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 10:12

To love God is to worship Him.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Psalm 100:1-2

To love God is to love those whom God loves.
Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. I John 4:20

God tests us to see if we will love Him.
The LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you indeed love the LORD your God with all your heart and soul. Deuteronomy 13:3

If we love God, God will do good to us.
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

God will give the kingdom to those who love him.
God promised the kingdom to those who loved him. James 2:5
