The Greatest Commandment Explained: How to Truly Love God

About this sermon

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen. In today’s Gospel reflection, we encounter the profound question: “Master, what is the greatest commandment of the Lord?” Our Lord Jesus Christ answers with clarity: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” This homily dives deeply into the meaning of true love for God—a love that is not simply an emotion, but a decision to remain faithful to Him above all things. Feelings may fade, circumstances may change, but real love is proven in faithfulness, obedience, and sacrifice. 🔑 In this sermon you will learn: Why loving God goes beyond feelings and emotions. How to recognize the infallible sign of true love for God. Why keeping the Commandments is the true test of love. How trials and dark moments reveal who truly loves God. The importance of prayer, the sacraments, and daily perseverance. ✨ A true Christian love for God is alive, faithful, and proven by action—not words alone. 🙏 May this message inspire you to place God first in every circumstance, to live by His Commandments, and to strengthen your love for Him daily. 📌 Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction & Sign of the Cross 0:21 – The Greatest Commandment 1:09 – Loving God Above All Things 2:05 – Love as Decision, Not Emotion 3:30 – Love Beyond Circumstances 5:55 – The Infallible Sign of Loving God 7:52 – Misconceptions About Loving God 9:04 – Avoiding Occasions of Sin 10:24 – Strength Through Prayer & Sacraments 11:05 – Real Love: Faithful, Sacrificial, Obedient 12:32 – Closing & Final Blessing For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest St. Francis de Sales gives great advice on friendships.
