The Teachings of Jesus Concerning Love in the Gospel of Matthew
Chapter One: Jesus introduces Love!
After Jesus speedily got rid of Satan in chapter four verse ten by quoting the Word of God as spoken by the prophets, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve."

He also said it was at hand, or, within your reach, here and now. That kingdom Jesus was talking about could only be received and entered into by repenting. Repenting of what? Sin? What was considered sin to Jesus? Anything that was against God's commandment is a sin in the eyes of God. What was God's Commandment?
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
