What does it mean to love God according to Romans 8:28?

Answered in 1 source

To love God means to have a deep relationship with Him, rooted in His love for us and expressed through our devotion.

In Romans 8:28, the promise that all things work together for good is specifically directed towards 'them who love God.' Loving God entails more than mere affection; it requires a profound commitment to understanding and following Him. This love is reciprocated, as believers love God because He first loved them (1 John 4:19). This relationship influences their actions and responses, underscoring that true love for God manifests in obedience, faithfulness, and a desire to align their lives with His will. It is not an abstract notion but a living, dynamic relationship that shapes the believer's life and outlook.
