Having previously considered the command to love our neighbour as ourselves, here Spurgeon considers “the first and greatest commandment”: that we should love the Lord our God supremely and entirely. Again, he is very conscious that this great law contains within it other laws, and presses home both the weight of it and the proper consequences of it, in terms of recognition of our sin and gratitude for salvation, as well as the life of love we ought to live if we have been redeemed from the sin and shame of disobedience at this point. A great conception of God governs this sermon, and without that we shall never grasp the force of this commandment.
