Why do we love the Lord?

Question:
Why do we love the Lord?

Answer:

Romans 5:1: “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  We love the Lord because He has given us this peace, and we know that we are made right with God through the blood of His Son.   Some other references were Ephesians 2:4-8; 1 John 3:1; and 1 John 4:19.
