John 14:15 If you love me keep my commandments
To Love Jesus is not an emotional thing. It involves emotions but it is not based on emotions. It doesn't change according to the situation. It is not a rational or mental commitment. It involves the mind but it is more than deciding and following some rules.To love Jesus is a matter of the heart and the spirit. It is a heart thing, from the innermost being of man.
The heart is the seat of man's affections, and devotion.The heart attaches and focuses our affection, will, and devotion to an object or person.The heart causes a man to will, or to give himself either to good or bad. To love Jesus means that a man focuses his heart, affections, and devotion upon God by giving and receiving the love of God. That we give all we have and are to Jesus Christ for him to do as he will. We deny ourself, not deny our self of things, but deny self. We die to self and our will that we might live in Him as He lives within us.
