This is what Jesus taught on how to love God.

This is one of the most important teachings of Yeshua, the Jewish Jesus.

A lawyer decided to test by asking,
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Torah?”

Jesus said to the lawyer,
“‘You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like it:

If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...
