The most important commandment 22:36 "Teacher, what is the most important commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. 38 This is the first and most important commandment. 39 The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, "Love others as much as you love yourself." The Gospel of Matthew, CEV The Center For Creative Balance is dedicated to helping find balance in an unbalanced world.
