Question

What did Jesus teach were the most important commandments?

Answer 1

Jesus taught that the most important commandments were to love God with all one's heart, soul, and mind, and to love one's neighbor as oneself. This teaching is often referred to as the "Great Commandment." Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:37-40, NIV).
