What is the theological virtue that empowers us to love God and to give god first place in your lives?
* I think that is 'Grace' , though probably your question could be clearer. * The virtue is certainly not theological. Love is essentially practical thing. * If the question is referring to a devout faithful approach, which is what it appears to be, then the above contributors are incorrect. Grace is incorrect, as it is merely part of a theological virtue. Specifically, the virtue of "Charity," and the question is by all means as clear as I, and most likely the asker, believe it should be. For the second contributor, the virtue is indeed theological. The theological virtue "that empowers us to love God and to give God first place in your lives" is none other than the the virtue of FAITH.

Why is the theological virtue charity important?
Charity, or love, is the most important virtue because it is literally Love for God above all else for His own sake and love for one’s neighbor as oneself for the love of God. It is the virtue that gives all other virtues meaning. We can particpate in God's love. The Vatican’s statement on charity reminds believers that all the virtues are inspired by charity, which “binds everything together in perfect harmony” (Colossians 3:14, ESV). The theology of charity (love) is based on Jesus' teaching to love God and to love others. "If I . . . have not charity," says the Apostle, "I am nothing." Whatever my privilege, service, or even virtue, "if I . . . have not charity, I gain nothing." Charity is superior to all the virtues. It is the first of the theological virtues: "So faith, hope, charity abide, these three. But the greatest of these is charity."
