3. Because our
highest happiness is found in loving Him.
_How we should show our Love_. We should show that we love God above all
things 1. By leading a godly life. [II John 6] 2. By loving the things
of God, especially the Church and the Gospel. [John 8:47] 3. By loving
our fellow-men for His sake. [I John 4:20+]
3. WE SHOULD TRUST IN GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS. We should rely with all our
heart upon His love and care, [Prov. 3:5+] placing our chief dependence
on Him, and not on our own wisdom, skill, or strength, or upon men,
money etc.
_Why_. We should trust in God with all our heart because 1. He loves us.
[Rom. 8:32] 2. He knows all our wants. [Matt. 6:32] 3. He knows what is
best for us. 4. He is able to do all things. 5. He has promised to care
for us. [Heb. 13:5, Isa. 54:10, Isa. 41:10]
_How we should show our Trust_. If we trust in God above all things we
will show that trust, 1. By freedom from unbelieving care and worry.
[Matt. 6:25, I Pet. 5:7+] 2. By reliance upon God's help and protection
at all times.
