Matthew 22:34-40: in context

A lawyer, testing Jesus, asks which is the greatest commandment in the law. Jesus answers by drawing together two commands. First: love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind; this is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments, he says, depend all the Law and the Prophets.

Jesus takes the whole vast body of God's law, hundreds of commandments, and hangs all of it on two hooks: love God, love your neighbor. Everything else, he says, depends on these; every command is finally an application of love toward God or love toward people. That is a clarifying simplification without being a reduction. It does not abolish the specific commands; it reveals their heart, so that a person who genuinely loves God with everything and loves their neighbor as themselves will fulfill what all the particular laws were aiming at. And notice the order and the inseparability. Love for God comes first, with everything we have, heart, soul, mind; that is the foundation. But it is immediately joined to love of neighbor, which Jesus calls like it, so that the two cannot be pulled apart. You cannot claim to love the God you cannot see while failing to love the neighbor you can. The whole of the moral life, in Jesus' summary, comes down to these two loves held together, a wholehearted love for God overflowing into love for the people around us. Everything God asks is finally a form of love, and everything hangs on getting these two right.

Does my life hang on the two loves Jesus named, wholehearted love for God overflowing into love for my neighbor, or have I let the specific commands drift loose from the love that is their whole point?
