The First Commandment

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Simplified

"You shall have no other gods before me" (Ex 20:2).

Moses and Jesus (2083)

Moses had said, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord" (Deut 6:4). Jesus summed up man's duties. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." The commandments make explicit man's response to that love.
