What is the First Commandment?

[Aaron56]

Therefore: The Love to be applied by Man in these 2 Commandments is a Love from God.

God the Father will not give his Love to us if we don't follow the first Commandment.

You don't understand how covenants work.

When the standards are different, you default to the highest standard. That way, you fulfill THAT standard and every lesser one.

So, when Christ gave us the standard "Love one another as I have loved you" He made the previous standard (Love as much as you can) obsolete. It was possible for man to argue, under the old commandment "I cannot love anyone because I do not love myself". Fair point.
BUT, since Jesus gave a greater commandment that requires mans' love to equal God's love, man cannot argue argue out of it. If the man is truthful, he will be come desperate and call on the Lord to save him.

Our Lord Jesus gave the first commandment to know God before To Love God.
Because it is very difficult to a man to identify God.
Who is the True Christ recognized by the disciples?
Christianity today have different identity of Jesus Christ.

GOD’S IDENTITY

Very clear, therefore, with “HUMAN WISDOM” never can we identify GOD, the “True CHRIST”!

No wonder what we hear from CHRISTIANITY TODAY composed of sects and denominations have the following “identities of Jesus Christ”:

· “Jesus Christ” is only a MAN and not God

· “Jesus Christ” is only a “mighty God” for Jehovah the “Almighty God”

· “JESUS CHRIST” is the name of God (Oneness doctrine)

· “Jesus Christ” is the 2nd person of the Trinity

The question that Preachers hate to hear is the “identity of GOD”. And so, to discourage inquisitiveness here is their answer, “with the finite mind of man, it is impossible to identify the infinite God”; to do so, “then we will be like HIM already”. Therefore, let GOD identify Himself:

Why is it important To Know The True Christ?
To Know The True Christ could identify God.
JOHN 8:19
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

Therefore: To Know The True Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the First Commandment,

I understand the question, but the first command is found in Genesis:
[Gen 2:16-17 KJV] 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

A bad decision, after that things went downhill rapidly, but even then Jesus had already committed himself to man's redemption: the first prophecy of the messiah:
[Gen 3:15, 22 KJV] 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

The command to Adam and Eve actually is God’s first command to humanity that follows His commands of creation in the first chapter of Genesis.
