How can we know if we truly love God?

Answered in 1 source

We know we love God when we desire to know Him and accept Jesus Christ as our Savior.

In the context of 1 Corinthians 2, love for God is demonstrated through faith and acceptance of His Son, Jesus Christ. The essence of loving God is not in a perfect display of affection but in a genuine desire to know Him and respond to His gospel. According to 1 John 4:19, we love Him because He first loved us, emphasizing that our love for Him is a response to His grace. This love manifests itself in trust, obedience, and longing for His presence, distinguishing believers from the unregenerate who remain indifferent to divine things. It is this recognition of His love that invites us into deeper communion with Him.
