Fundamental Identity
“God created you to be a lover of God, to enjoy him, to delight in him, to be enthralled and entranced with him, to be excited and exhilarated with the revelation of himself in Jesus. In other words, God created you for the first and greatest commandment, to be a lover of God. This, above all else, is your fundamental identity.”
