How do we know if we truly love God?

Our love for God is evidenced through our obedience to His commandments. Jesus says in John 14:15, 'If you love me, keep my commandments.' This means that love is not merely an emotion but a commitment that translates into action, aligning our lives with God's will. Obedience flows from a heart that values the holiness and righteousness of God, demonstrating a sincere love that seeks to please Him. Importantly, while we will not keep His commandments perfectly, a desire to do so signifies a genuine relationship with Him.
