If he is the priority in our relationships

1. That he really is the most important person in our lives;
2. That we daily offer adoration - often emotionally, sometimes as an act of the will;

If he is the priority in our time

1. That each day we make time to speak with and listen to God, in addition to using any prayer list;
2. That each day we read Scripture;

If he is the priority in our motives

1. That our life aim is to fulfil his purpose for us;
2. That we offer worship, not primarily to bless and satisfy us but to glorify God;
3. That we are living sacrifices, our whole lives being an offering, including self-denial;

If he is the priority in our hope

ie. that we really look forward to meeting him either beyond death or at the second coming.

BUT:  FIRST LOVE APPLIES TO OUR NEIGHBOUR TOO

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love Jus brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.  (1 John 4:20)
