Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Love for God is #1. Love for your Neighbor is #2. #1 = Commandments 1-4, #2 = Commandments 5-10. I guess 60% is a passing grade.....
Another question, Quester. Who wrote the 10 Commandments?

Mar 12:30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, Mar 12:31 "The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'[Lev. 19:18] Mar 12:32 Mar 12:33 AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH Mar 12:34 When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him,I prefer this event from the lips of Peter through the pen of Mark
b'shem Y'shua Mar 12:29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is,
Blessed Passover season.
'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;
AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'
[Deut. 6:4,5]
There is no other commandment greater than these."
that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM;
ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH,
AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF,
is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
"You are not far from the kingdom of God."
Curiously absent from your post is Love for God:
Not so curious ... unless you are set upon accusing your brother.
I simply quoted Jesus ... from a couple of different occasions in His teaching ministry.
Of course, I didn't know that it was required that I cite everything that was ever said.
Another question, Quester. Who wrote the 10 Commandments?
Why ... God, of course.

Salvation under the Law requires a 100% grade.
Thank God that we are not saved by the Law ...Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
