-------------------

What is the first commandment of God? Not the first given but the most important. This was the question of priority.

Jesus' answer was clear: the first command is the Lord is one God and we are to love Him with all of our being.

But then Jesus goes on to say the second is like unto it: love others as ourselves. These are the two greatest commands: love God first with all we are and love others as ourselves.
