SUMMARY

1. We begin by believing in God.

2. Then we fear God because he hates evil, and we try not to sin because we are afraid of going to Hell.

3. After that we learn to love God because he is so good, and we keep from sin because we cannot bear to displease him.  Love puts God first, and we cannot do too much for him.
