There are a lot of commands given by God in scripture. The most famous ones throughout history are probably the 10 Commandments. Things like "don’t lie," "don’t steal," and "don’t murder" are pretty basic but important. Throughout the Bible, God commanded His people to do and not do certain things. Not only that, human religious leaders added a bunch of other rules and regulations God’s people were supposed to follow. With all of these rules and regulations, trying to keep up and keep God happy was impossible. Thankfully, Jesus changed everything. He simplified all of the commandments into the greatest—love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. While we could never remember everything in Scripture, we can memorize today’s verse.

Try to memorize this verse by writing it out or reading it to yourself three times. You could even make a song about it. Memorizing this verse can be a really helpful way to remember what Jesus said is most important when being a Christian seems too complicated.
