What does the Bible say about love the lord with all your heart?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that loving the Lord with all our heart is the greatest commandment, calling for wholehearted devotion that embraces our mind, soul, and strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 grounds this love in God’s covenant claim upon His people, and Jesus repeats it in Matthew 22:37 and Mark 12:30 as the chief duty from which all faithful obedience flows. Such love is not mere emotion but trust, worship, obedience, and a willing pursuit of God’s will, as Deuteronomy 10:12 and Joshua 22:5 show. Yet believers love because God first loved us, supremely revealed in the gift of His Son (John 3:16; 1 John 4:7-8). By grace, the Spirit turns hearts toward God and produces love for Him and for neighbor.
