Showing love to God is a good thing because without God, we wouldn't have anything. Being aware of God's love for you can make you a stronger, better and more confident person. So try to follow these steps to show God that you love him.

Things You Should Know

Pray to God by telling him you love him and all of his creations.
Do good things by offering to help those in need, such as doing the laundry for your parents, helping a friend with homework, or returning a stranger’s cart at the store.
To love God is to love yourself. The more you treat yourself with kindness and respect, the better you’ll be able to love God and thy neighbor.

Question

What are ways of showing love to God?

Community Answer

One thing you need to understand is that there aren't ways listed in the Bible or anywhere saying, "Here you go. This is the list to show that you love God." It doesn't work that way. It depends on your heart. Anything that you do, if you do it for the glory of God and do it with the love of Christ, then you can show God you love him. You can show it by becoming a missionary to one of the most dangerous places in the world, or open the door for the elderly. As long as you do it with your heart, a heart that loves God, then that is more than enough for Him. There are no acts, God sees your heart, and He simply knows.

Question

Do I have to tithe if I'm in debt, and do I have to give it to the pastor's office?

Andrew Cowell

Community Answer

It is important to tithe no matter what. We don't just tithe when we are financially stable, but we tithe always to show God that no matter where we are in life, we are trusting Him with our money. Tithes do not only need to be done in a pastor's office. Tithes can be given in many ways. God doesn't care about the money itself, he has no need for material things. He just wants to see that our hearts are in the right place.
