I do accept those, I am not getting this love bond or feeling thing, it's not just there. Someone told me that the love is not the attraction type or chemical type, which I find it difficult to understand how then will the love be expressed in a non physical or psychological way.
This is not something that can be achieved in a day. It's a process. The more you study the bible and begin to work on the word, the love and bond will start to flow spiritually and physically through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is love and so his words.

Totally agree but, I think my spiritual growth is slow. I want to feel this bond don't know when and how long.

Nice, can one really love God. I mean not by saying it or doing things in the name of pleasing God, I mean genuine love like cravings, burning passions and desire. I don't know, like the love and desire for money is strong, but, I am really referring to a limitless love that is stronger than that of man to money.

1 John 5:3

For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome.

So when you strive to keep God's commandment, it shows you love God to the degree we humans can. God understands us. He sees our heart if we really love him or not.

Satan always want to make us feel we can't love God for real and because of this, many people have stopped loving God. They have stopped striving to keep his commandments.

These commandments are not even to any benefit for God. They are all for our own benefit.

The love God asks from us is not the chemical kind of love that is burning passions and desires.

It is a love that is quite possible for you see, it is impossible to become a Born Again without this love. God asks that we love Him through our obedience, obeying Him in all things with all our heart, mind, body and soul. Of course such love is not always without doubt, that is why we trust, even when we do not understand and know the why of what we are doing.

What does it mean to be born again? What is the process and who determines who gets born again?
Are there examples of people who got born again in the Bible?

I like to ask questions.

The commandments doesn't seem hard but, when the earthly nature of man starts it makes it look like it is burdensome, when both sides (good and evil) are not of the same term, it's difficult I tell you.
When I'm trying to be doing God's way, the earthly things are becoming burdensome.
I could say to myself, hey take that person's bucket of water (water is free right, do you want to be late, don't worry the person will understand, what are you waiting for have someone not take your stuff and you forget about it), look your neighbor property is not safe (mind your business, did anyone care when yours (mine) was in danger, leave it he can get another, you don't like him that much so - what do you care), sometimes I just watch drama (argument that can lead to fight) instead of saying forgive each other, I sin by been silence (I wanted to watch the show). It is all wrong I know sad

If you truely love GOD you won't break HIS law.

As seemingly straight forward as this is, you can see there are already a myriad interpretations of it.

Paul's teachings even teach that trying to fulfill any of the laws is a curse. Since Jesus already fulfilled them having been crucified for the sins of the world.

Keep believing and trusting in God and in no time you'll feel the presence of God in your life.

1.Thou shalt have no other gods before me
2.Honour thy father and thy mother
3.Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
4.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
5.Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
6.Thou shalt not kill
7.Thou shalt not commit adultery
8.Thou shalt not steal
9.Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
10.Thou shalt not covet.
In Mark, when asked "which is the great commandment in the law?", the Greek New Testament reports that Jesus answered, "Hear, O Israel! The Lord Our God, The Lord is One; Thou shalt love thy Lord, thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind"
So where is trinity from.

The central prayer of Judaism is the Shema:

Hear you, Israel, Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one.

— The Shema[30]
Together with “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,” it is found in printed form in the Mezuzah, the small, tubed case on the doorposts of homes of observant Jews.[31] This form was chosen to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to inscribe the words of the Shema "on the doorposts of your house.”[32] “Thousands of martyrs did not go to their deaths muttering a numerical truism. When they said that God is one, they meant that … nothing in the universe is comparable to this God or can take the place of this God … that is why they are willing to die rather than abandon [these values].”[33]

The national resolve toward monotheism solidified during the experience of the Babylonian Captivity. The sorrow and difficulty experienced by the Israelites as a whole during the exile is poignantly expressed in Psalm 137. The hard times experienced during the exile are remembered annually on the ninth of Av, when Jews fast and read aloud the scroll of Lamentations of Jeremiah regarding the destruction of Judah and the First Temple.[34] In the centuries that followed, Jews were willing to suffer death rather than pay the honor due God to any other man or god.

Thanks a lot but, I still feel like a holy hypocrite sometimes. I have serve God in fear of going to hell, I have done good deeds to make God happy but, later I grew to like doing them.
I have mercy on people cuz I want God to have mercy on me, I don't know if I should call it selfish love or hypocritic love. I know I can't outsmart God and he is aware of my every move and the next one.
I praise him in good times (maybe my mood is right) and in bad times (just for the sake of praising, I don't want it to look like I am after the good times or like a spiritual gold digger).
Can you call this true love, sad God help me understand how to love him more.



First u need to understand dt God is Spirit n u will need the Holy Spirit to understand Him, who He really His n how He operate....

For u to Love God,u need to really understand the first commandment....

u must Love Him wit all ur heart,soul n might...not part of ur heart or soul....

Those are not the commandments referred to by John. He refers to the New Covenant commandments that where given by Jesus Christ , for which the new seal is the Spirit of the Living God Himself!

You mentioned "born again" and I'm sure you don't know what you're talking about. So, maybe if you know what being born again means, you will know that it is irrelevant in the discussion about loving God.

You're exibiting the symptoms of a heart that sincerely thirsts after God, so I believe that your cup shall soon be filled and run over. Matthew 5:6

I also say a big amen to your prayer.
