9. 7) Personal Love for God the Father (PLGF)

10. Propositions about God we must understand in order to have a relationship with Him and love Him.

11. a) God exists, b) God reveals Himself, c) When God reveals Himself, it makes sense, d) God has a plan and purpose for your life

12. e) God is perfect and His plan is perfect. f) Perfect God can only create a perfect plan. g) God has created a perfect plan for imperfect persons.

13. PLGF is necessary to pass Providential Preventative Suffering, including betrayal, to eliminate the three arrogance skills (self - justification, deception, and absorption).

14. PLGF provides you with the appropriate motivation to keep moving forward in the spiritual life.

15. To love someone personally you have to know how they think, therefore we have to know how God thinks through the filling of the Holy Spirit who teaches His Word.

16. 1 John 2:5, “But whoever guards His word, truly in him the love for God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.”

17. 1 John 5:2, “By this we know that we keep on loving the children of God, when we love God and execute His mandates.”

18. The test of loving God is keeping His mandates and applying the Problem Solving Devices.

19. Personal love means you love because the object of your love is lovable.

20. Rom 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died as a substitute for us.”

21. 1 John 4:19, “We love, because He first loved us.”

22. John 14:15, “If you love Me, you will keep My mandates (Word)".

23. Personal Love for God:

24. Personal Love for God: a) Comes by means of knowledge and application of Bible doctrine, 1 John 4:16, 21.

25. Personal Love for God: b) Is revealed by your AGAPE love toward all of mankind, 1 John 4:7-8.

26. Personal Love for God: c) Motivates you in trials, adversity and spiritual warfare, Joshua 23:10-11.

27. Personal Love for God: d) Provides strength in times of adversity and pressure and will keep you going forward in the Plan of God, Heb 11:27.

28. Heb 11:27, “By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him (PMA of Bible Doctrine) who is unseen.”

29. Every believer is responsible for the success or the failure of his or her own spiritual life and God has provided everything necessary for your success.

30. Therefore, PLGF cannot coexist with the arrogance complex of sins, which means preoccupation with self or the problem.

31. To become preoccupied with the problem is to reject or ignore the divine solution because you feel so bad, are hurting so much, and want sympathy.

32. You then develop human solutions, which are no solutions that include arrogance, emotion, and problem solving incompetence, ignoring PSDs 7 and 8.
