By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. (John 13:34-35)
The more you study the Bible the more you will find out that it is not important how to love God but how to let God love us. What can we do to receive all his love. Once we could understand that, everything will make sense...
Christianity is not mostly moralism but mysticism. It is not at first side about examining and presenting ideal human behaviour. Its first interest is to tell us about the love which alone itself allows us to be ideal. Once we become ideal because of this love, ideal human behaviour will appear itself.
If could we in some way expose us to radiation of the Gods love, we could see permanent change not just on our surface but in the deepest core of our existence. Jesus story is testimony what will happen with a human which is fully exposed to Gods love. How consequence it have in his life and others life. Once this kind of love get into his life he could listen to the people and help them, it help him to approach them, heal them and resurrect them. This love can grow in us and if we are open to it, it can fulfil all parts of our existence. All this will happen if you will remove all obstacles which prevent full development of this love.
Important is to learn how to pray. Only during the pray you will reach Gods love and you can experienced its coming into your life. Sense of the pray is to lead away the prayer from himself in the new world where he doesn't live just for himself but for the others. In the community which transcend the barrier of time and space. He is invited to completely new environment where he will learn to live with everyone and for everyone and step by step he will forget to his little selfish world. If someone experienced that he is loved, he can not be the same. It is tremendous difference if someone knows that he is loved and if he can experienced that he is loved. Only knowledge isn't enough. Knowledge will never change anyone, but experience if it is enough deep and long-term can do that. There is some analogy with human love. If I love some woman, but that woman doesn't love me back, how can I she be changed to the better? She can not feel the love back. It is just information for her. She can not experienced that love. So let God love you with all yours errors :)
