What does Jesus mean when He says to love God and neighbor?

Answered in 1 source

Loving God and neighbor encapsulates the essence of God's law and genuine faith.

In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus succinctly summarizes the law by stating that we must love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. This command encompasses the heart of biblical ethics and illustrates our relational obligations. Love for God involves a heartfelt devotion and obedience to His will, while love for neighbor implies actions rooted in kindness, respect, and justice. This command reflects the character of God Himself, emphasizing that true faith necessarily produces love and good works, echoing the transformative power of the Gospel.
