What is the greatest commandment according to Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus summarizes the law by stating that the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This call to love encompasses the entirety of a person's being and indicates that a genuine relationship with God is rooted in sincere devotion. It also points to the reality that all other commandments are fulfilled in this singular directive. By loving God as He deserves, believers are naturally inclined to love their neighbors as themselves, fulfilling the essence of the law. Understanding this commandment is pivotal for Christians as it defines their primary obligation in life—both individually and as a community—in responding to God's love and grace.
