A spiritually formed person loves God by following Jesus and loving others.
A spiritually formed person embraces the stories of others who love Jesus.
A spiritually formed person lives out kingdom values,
and
a spiritually formed person loves Jesus.
What does it mean to love Jesus?
It means to believe in him,
to abide in him,
to surrender to him,
to be restored in him,
to forgive others in him,
and
to reach out with the good news about him.
This is how a disciple of Jesus loves Jesus.
