This is the foundational starting point, as God's love for you is an unchangeable fact, regardless of your response. God's love is unconditional and unearned - He has already proven it by sending His Son to die for you. Acknowledging this truth about God's unwavering love for you is essential, as it provides the secure foundation for your relationship with Him.

Knowing about God's love and actually embracing it are two very different experiences. If you want to truly encounter the life-changing power and fruits of God's love, you must take the intentional step of wholeheartedly embracing it. 

Over time, our perceptions of God can become distorted by our own biases, preconceptions, and influences from the world around us. But to love God as a lifestyle, we must commit to seeing Him clearly, aligning our perspective with the truths revealed in Scripture.

The more you know God, the more you will be compelled to love Him. Dedicating intentional time to studying His word, understanding His character, priorities, and disposition towards you is key to deepening your love.

While initial feelings of admiration and attraction towards God are valuable, He desires a deeper commitment from us. This step involves making the intentional choice to enter into a covenant relationship with God as your Lord, King, Savior, and the God of your life.
