In this article, Ed Welch argues that God views life through the eyes of His two great commandments and fundamentally asks, “Who do you love?” and “How do you love?” Welch explores human motivation and examines several common themes thought to underlie human motivation. Welch concludes that true change takes place when we focus on knowing the One who truly deserves our worship.
