As Jesus will later dictate at the Last Supper, so He indicates in today's Gospel reading that we should love God and neighbor with all we are as the most important commandments.
The Law as a whole, with all its commandments, is not so much about following rules and procedures, but about putting us into right relationship with God, reflected in right relationship with each other.
In love, Jesus offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to free us from sin, and lives forever so that we may always stand in this salvation, as we draw from His strength and abiding in His love, to the point that we are completely drawn into living it out, as we are fully drawn into relationship with Him.
