  1. Love the Lord With Your All
    • WHO?
      1. Jehovah – the eternal, self-existing “I AM” (Ex. 3:14)
      2. Your God – the Supreme One, who made YOU, owns YOU and calls YOU His own (Deut. 6:4-5; Psa. 100:3)
      3. Him alone – “with your all” leaves no room for a rival to share His place (Ex. 20:3; Deut. 6:13-15; Matt. 4:10; 10:37)
    • HOW?
      1. Prioritize “your all” for Him – no exceptions (Matt. 6:33; Col. 1:18)
      2. Sacrifice “your all” to Him – no exceptions (Rom. 12:1-2; 2 Cor. 5:15)
      3. Live “your all” for Him daily – no exceptions (John 14:15; Col. 3:17; 1 Cor. 10:31)
      4. Worship Him with “your all” – no exceptions (John 4:23-24; Heb. 13:15)
    • WHY?
      1. Because He first loved you (1 John 4:7-19)
      2. Because He gave His all for you (John 3:16; Phil. 2:6-8; Gal. 2:20)
      3. Because His love compels you to live for Him in all ways (2 Cor. 5:14-15)
  2. Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
    • WHO?
      1. Love your brethren (John 13:34-35; 1 Pet. 1:22; 1 John 4:11)
      2. Love your enemies (Matt. 5:44; Luke 6:35; Rom. 12:20)
      3. Love whoever God puts in your path (Lev. 19:18; Luke 10:29-37; Gal. 6:10)
    • HOW?
      1. Give others the same consideration you naturally give yourself (Phil. 2:3-4)
      2. Seek their good instead of merely your own (1 Cor. 10:24; Rom. 15:2)
      3. Do for them what you would want done for you (Matt. 7:12; Gal. 5:13)
    • WHY?
      1. Because it fulfills what God commands (Matt. 22:40; Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 5:14)
      2. Because it follows the example of Jesus (John 13:34; Eph. 5:2)
      3. Because it shows the world that you belong to Jesus (John 13:35)
      4. Because it demonstrates whether your love for God is real (1 John 4:20-21)
  3. Does God Have Your All?
    • Believe that Jesus is the Son of God – Acts 16:31
    • Repent of your sins and turn toward God – Acts 3:19
    • Confess your faith in Jesus Christ – Romans 10:9
    • Be immersed into Christ – Galatians 3:27
      1. God will forgive all of your sins – Acts 2:38
      2. God will add you to His church – Acts 2:47
      3. God will register you in heaven – Hebrews 12:23
    • Love Him and faithfully obey Him each day – John 14:15
