An Introduction to Christian Ethics

What Does It Mean to Love God?

The word "love" used here is not used to describe a warm, fuzzy feeling. The New Testament in the Bible was originally written in Greek and the Greek word used here - agape - means being concerned for others, caring for them as much as you care for yourself. In this context, loving God means putting God first in your life. A Christian who loves God wants to do what is right in God's view.
