Growing in our love of God is the point of life, and particularly the Christian life, is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. This is the point, and that's our topic today. We need to remind ourselves of who God is and what He has done for us if you're a believer. Then once you're a believer, we're called to draw near to him every day. James 4:8, draw near to God and he will draw nearer to you. Spend time communicating with Him.

Another thing is to fellowship with other believers who love God, especially within the context of the local church. And if you're a Christian, we need to remind ourselves that the purpose of reading the word and hearing it preached and fellowshipping with other believers is ultimately to love God more and more.
