Mark.12.30 NKJV
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.[NKJV]
THE HEART OF LOVE
One could be saying, this is part of the law of Moses but we have to see Christ therein as children of God who know that God's heart is a heart of Charity or compassion.
In this potion of scripture, Jesus was typically answering the scribes and Him trying to bring the point home had to first let them know that the most important thing is to know the Lord your God as one and that is The Lord Jesus Christ.
This sounded like He hadn't answered them but then our theme verse is where He explained the previous verse saying you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart[person], soul[mind] and strength[energy].
Jesus Christ was literally bringing out the whole law of Moses and summarizing it to the Heart of Love which is in the Father, Showing us that Knowing and hearing This One God who is Love is the ultimate requirement that God wanted all along from the children of Israel in the law that He gave them
As a child of God it is also good to know that the old covenant that God had with the children of Israel was brought to us in a simplified version called Love where we do not struggle to but we are already born in it.
The whole truth there was that God wanted to reconcile the world through the Law of Moses but then it could not speak to their inner man: the spirit man. He then brought out the unifying factor which could speak to any man in any realm which was love and that's when He wins us the Gentiles into Himself. Hallelujah!
NUGGET
Child of God it is only by the knowledge of God and His Love that makes us complete and perfect and righteous.
