       We do know, or should know by now, that God is the only One who is unchanging in our lives. So, this is a second reason, in that not only do we want to be close to God, but actually, he is the only one who is certain for us. It was mentioned how Paul only had Luke with him by the end of his life, that everyone else had gone somewhere else. But Jesus has also told us in Luke, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26, ESV). Therefore, he draws a firm line. He shows that our love for God will be far greater than for anyone else. It’s not that we must love God, but it seems better to say that we automatically will if we are a true believer. It will well-up from our hearts.
