Matthew 23:37-38
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
What made this commandment so important? It is simple. If you love God with every part of your being, you will do everything to please him. You will stay strong in your faith. It’s not hard to understand because when you love God you will want to follow every single one of his commandments and will be more likely to seek his guidance in life.
