Matthew 22:37-40
"You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all you soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."
It's apparent that from reading this verses that love is the greatest command in the whole Bible. We are first to love God and then love our neighbors (everyone else). The rest of the Bible is based on these two commands. Without loving God we won't have the genuine love that we are supposed to have for other people. Why? Because without seeing how much God loved use, when he sent his perfect son to earth to die for our sins, we will never fully love people who need Jesus Christ in their lives. One way that we can learn to love God more is to remember what he did on the cross for us (read Matthew 27 &28). When we remember what God did for us we will want to tell others about the love he showed for us. In return showing others the love we have for them.

Great blog, Ben. I'm going to look forward to following it and reading your insights into Scripture. Love is the key, isn't it? And it's so simple. How do so many miss it?

Thanks for the reminder!
We miss it because we are to focused on ourselves and not others
