“Then one of the scribes came, and… asked Him, ‘Which is the first commandment of all?’ Jesus answered him, ‘The first of all the commandments is… you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” ~ Mark 12:28-31
Out of everything that Jesus could have commanded us to do, the first commandment He gave to His disciples, and hence to us, was to love.
To first love your God with all your heart, soul, and strength; and second, to love your neighbor as yourself.
That alone gives us an indication of how important love is to God.
God bless,
J.W.
