Our love should not be for salvation, but for LOVE deeply felt by God, the true love that is born in us to find ourselves in the presence of the wonderful thing that enters our being and that we long to continue having in our lives forever.
Do you really love God?
Who could affirm it?
No one can know the thoughts of a person except that person's Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:11

The only one who knows what we think and feel is God, no one else can know what we really feel, he knows it and knows everything.
The human being, however, could never know what exactly someone feels, we are simply visual, we see the expressions and what their appearance expresses, but we can not go further, and verify if someone really loves God, if not, he same.
Jehovah does not see what man looks at, for man looks at what is before his eyes, but Jehovah looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16: 7

A heart, pure, clean, thirsty for the love of Christ, but our greatest proof of love is loyalty to him, that is our test and that is how we know how much we love him.
When we see the Scriptures we can realize that we can not lie to the Lord about what we really feel, we should never deceive him because, we will not be to his liking, we find him in John 2: 23-24. Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did, many began to trust him, but Jesus did not trust them, because he knew their human nature.
Jesus knew that they loved him for the signs, for what he was doing, but it was not real, their hearts were far from him, what they said to feel was false, they did not feel love for the son or the father, they were just there for the acts witnessed and yet they did not give their hearts to him.
Matthew 15: 8-9. This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
To love God must be done with faith in him, you must love beyond an expression, is to make a commitment that lasts forever.
God looks at the hearts of people, knows what they are going through, because he is the only one who knows their feelings, what they look for and what they want, and how they act.
But, beyond all, ask yourself if you really love God?
The answers are in the Bible, we will realize our feelings and if we are really delivering our love to the King.
John 14:15. To love him is to please him, if they love me they will obey my commandments, and he who loves me will keep my word.
1 John 5: 1 Love your Church, because all who believe in Jesus have become children of God, because all who love their father also love the children born of him, that is, to his Church, his love It is useless for the father if we do not love who is in our environment, then we must ask ourselves: do I love others? To love is not to say that we love God and we are disloyal to our neighbor.
James 4: 4 says that loving God is not loving your enemy, and who is the enemy? THE WORLD, tells us that friendship with the world makes them enemies of God, to love God is to be in the world without being in the world.
Loving God is an action, it is making a decision, it is choosing him first of all, we must be loyal to show the love we feel because it is an attribute of God and that is why he demands it from his people, because he is loyal.
He who loves God always believes what is good about him, and never believes in the enemy, he simply stands firm in the Holy Scriptures. Loyalty does not take vacations, we must fight to achieve the loyalty that God demands and we must not fail him.
We must make a commitment of loyalty, and is love God for above all things
