2 Greatest Laws out of over 600 Laws in the Bible

Jesus answered him telling that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. Plus we are to love our neighbor as yourself. Which loving God is the greatest and foremost. Then the other is loving your neighbor as your self. By doing these two we will live. If love God, we will love what God loves.

Love is the greatest commandment, law!
