69.   Which is the greatest law of religion according to Jesus?

The greatest law of religion is summarized in the Great Commandments of love, which are as follows: "The first of all commandments: the Lord, our God, the Lord is one: and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."
