How does a person come to love God?

Answer 1

A person comes to love God, by first completely accepting who God is, and what He has done in their life. Second, comes the open acknowledgment that you(we) have messed up, and can not do it (live this life), successfully, with complete peace and eternal assurance, with out Him. Third, there must be a faithful acceptance that you(we) are a new creation, and that the old man, and all the wicked devices of the past, are all gone. Then finally, there is the walk of faith, and the constant study of God's word, and the application of Jesus' walk, into our daily life. Never can we be perfect, but that is why we need God. The Bible says that, " if you love me, the you will keep my commandments." If your question is sincere, then you are already embracing God, with your desire for His wisdom.

Answer 2

One thing I know, there are so many proves of what is supernatural all about. There's magic, ghost, and all the things that we cannot explain. Then, for every evil there is good, everything is balanced as if like it can not be anything else. What I know about God is that God is real, and so the evil that distract us every time that we do, for example we see many people suffer because of their thoughts, point of view, that made everthing in their life ruined, and that's the start of the people who suffer (which more like everyone) searching for something to save them and heal them, and to love God means saving them.

Answer 3

Love is not an emotion but a conscience decision and you come to love God the same way a man loves his wife or vice-versa or a mother loves her child

Answer 4

Well for me it was easy, but I grew up in the environment. However, I wasn't saved until I was 23. I don't know how it is for people who didn't grow up with God in their lives. I always loved him, but, once I got saved, it was a whole different level. Once you start to learn about Him and Jesus, you realize the kind of unconditional love that He has for you and all of things he's done for you. It's soooo great to know that even though we can't begin to be what he had originally set out for, he still loves us.

Answer 5

Just as you would to come to love anyone else. Talk to Him. read about Him, think about Him, sing to Him, thank Him for the stuff He's done for you, and hang around other people who know and love Him. Trust Him with your secrets, go to Him when you hurt, include Him in your celebrations.

Answer 6

Many different ways

I think for most people they have to "see to believe"

and therefore they begin to love God when something good comes their way or a miracle occurs...

Also, through finding inner peace and seeking salvation

Answer 7

Usually by becoming unable to cope with the bad things that happen to us in life. Then they latch onto the idea of god as a coping mechanism, so they don't go completely crazy.

Answer 8

By accepting his love of you. You need to accept Him and then you can't do anything but love Him back. Ask Him into your heart. Learn about Him in the Bible. Try not to 'sin' and ask for forgiveness if you falter. Go to church to learn & have a good community to back you up & help you through rough times.

Answer 9

Knowing that life is a daily miracle and the breath of life is the one thing that connects us to this plain of excistance. Watch how the seasons change. Look for God within yourself, even tho 'he is omnipresent just as the sky, you can only find him within yourself. Seek and you shall find.

Answer 10

I pray and ask God to help me to know Him more and to love Him more. I do this because He does not want me to to His will because I feel forced to but because I want to. And the only way I can want to do His will instead of my own is to love Him more and to know Him more ... to become God centered instead of self centered.
