People who are new to religion may wonder why you should love God with all your heart and mind.
It is best to explain that God should be seen as a caring father who would do anything for you and has.
Christians, when speaking with those who are new to religion about Jesus’s greatest commandment, it may not be as evident to them why to love a higher power with all their mind and heart when they may see God as more of an abstract concept. It is best to explain that God should be seen as a caring father who would do anything for you and has.
It makes sense both logically and emotionally why you would love a parent with all your mind and heart who loves you and has given you everything. That is who God is. He loves us and has given us everything we have.
It is often more self-evident to people why they should try to love other human beings, which is the other part of the greatest commandment. Explaining to people who God is in terms of a good and caring father and not in terms of an abstract deity helps people relate to the full idea of the greatest commandment more closely. It makes the greatest commandment make more sense all-around.
