31. When do we love God?
We love God when He is dearer to us than all else, so that we have no true joy except in Him, and gladly submit to His will in all things.
Ps. 18:1. I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength.
Ps. 73:25, 26. Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
32. Can we love God and the world at the same time?
By no means.
Matt. 6:24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
1 John. 2:15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
33. Why must we love God?
We must love God because of His goodness toward us.
