How do the Scriptures teach us regarding love and trust?

The First Commandment teaches us to respond to the love of God: “We love him, because he first loved us” (1Jo 4:19). With the Psalmist, we exclaim: “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul” (Psa 143:8).

Our love for God answers his unfathomable love for us, as the heavenly Father who calls us to behold and share the glory of his beloved Son: “love those who have always put their trust in your glory” (3Es 8:30).
