Loving God, making him the center of our being, is a commandment that we as Christians should live every day, and as abstract and personal as I may have tried to explain it, the reality is that we as Christians are constantly trying to fit in a box what loving God means, just as Jews were in the time of Jesus. In the time when Jesus spoke these words Jews had 613 laws and whoever followed more in their lives determined who loved God more, and whoever broke the rules was regarded as an abomination–a message and attitude very relevant to Christians today because fitting the concept of “loving God” into a box is exactly what Christ is calling us to reject. Loving God is not about rules, it is about freedom! Loving him does not imprison us in four walls, it frees us from shackles that the world wants to put on us.
