The duties required in the first commandment are,
the knowing and acknowledging of God to be the only true God, and our God;
and to worship and glorify him accordingly, by thinking, meditating, remembering, highly esteeming, honoring, adoring, choosing, loving, desiring, fearing of him;
believing him;
trusting, hoping, delighting, rejoicing in him;
being zealous for him;
calling upon him, giving all praise and thanks, and yielding all obedience and submission to him with the whole man;
being careful in all things to please him, and sorrowful when in anything he is offended;
and walking humbly with him.
(Westminster Larger Catechism, 1647, Question 104)
