If you love your neighbor you love God. If you clothe the poor you do this to him also, if you are bad you are bad to God also. Treat everyone the way you would like them to treat you.
Love is the one word that encompasses all commandments. This Jesus taught us, and I for one believe Him and trust that all he taught was for the betterment of man so He calls himself The Son of Man, He prayed to His heavenly Father, that He may forgive us because Jesus knows we don't know what we are doing. The world's chaos is proof enough of that for me. One day we will know all things and understand why all these things have to be, until then I live in faith with Jesus that all will be restored so God's Kingdom and Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.

I'm not Christian, but didnt' Jesus say "whatever you do to the least of my people, that you do to me"?
I dont think Jesus is a god or anything, but I kinda think that the way to Love God is to worship God, and also to Love others, and also to be good stewards of the earth. Basically, all that you say, do, or think should be an act of worship.

It means if you obey His orders and leave His prohibition...
God has given you hands, eyes, mouth, feet, nose, etc.
and the particular thing is God has given you a life...
those're proofs that God love you, so why you still confused to love God?

to love others and yourself and to do all of these things and more to serve others is always better that to serve yourself. God is love and love is God. To give all that you have to help others and to thank of yourself last always. The acronym JOY is Jesus first others second, yourself last if one where to live in this way is to truly love God

...Very simply, to love God is obey His Word. Check these verses:
John 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.
John 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.
1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

To me it means that I want to be with Him in eternity...forever.
I love Him, and I believe that the Bible is His life manual for me. His love letters to me. He talks to me through His word and through events and other people.

Don't masturbate(just kidding). From what I know, it means feeling guilty for everything you do, denying yourself of all pleasure, pointing out other people's "sins", and going to church to listen to fairy tales and eat dry bread.
