Big Idea: Faith is more than believing God exists. Faith loves Him enough to obey Him.

I. Loving God Begins with Trust

Every relationship begins with trust. Faith says, “I trust God even when I don’t understand.”

Supporting - Proverbs 3:5-6 & Hebrews 11:1

II. Loving God Produces Obedience

Jesus connected love with obedience.

John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

Application: Obedience isn’t legalism. It’s love expressed.

John Calvin: “Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone.”

III. Loving God Changes Our Priorities

People naturally pursue what they love.

Faith changes what we chase.

Supporting - Matthew 6:33 & Psalm 27:4

Conclusion:

Many people want God’s blessings. Few pursue His presence. Faith chooses His presence first.
