Loving God Means Loving His Word (Psalm 119)

What does it mean to truly love God? One of the clearest indicators of our love for the Lord is our love for His Word. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins reflects on Psalm 119:97–105, where the psalmist expresses deep delight in God's law. Rather than viewing Scripture as a burden or obligation, the psalmist treasures God's Word, meditates on it throughout the day, and allows it to shape his life. God's Word gives wisdom, guards our steps, and shines as a lamp for our path. Through Scripture, God graciously reveals Himself to His people and guides them in truth. Dave encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationship with God's Word and to return to Scripture not as a task to complete, but as a gift to receive. As believers meditate on God's Word and walk in obedience, the Lord uses His Word to deepen their love for Him and strengthen their faith.
