How can we show that we love God?

Jesus said: “I love the Father.” How did he show his love? “Even as the Father has given me commandment to do,” he said, “so I am doing.” (John 14:31) He also stated: “I always do the things pleasing to him.” (John 8:29) We can please God by learning about him. While praying for his disciples, Jesus said: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God.”—John 17:3; 1 Timothy 2:4.
